Lovely design, engines with character and a pricetag that works better than a Dino's. The only real issues that drag it down are the classic Italian reliability (or the problems with it, to be more precise) and the relative rarity of the car. Still, it's a junior Ferrari without the huge pricetag attached to such honor.

I'll sneak in a Sub-Zero for that gorgeous Spider; Pininfarina sure knew how to design convertibles in the 1960-1970's, huh? :drool:
 
Handsome enough as a Coupe. Plain gorgeous as a Spider.

Personally, I wouldn't have lumped both versions together in a single nomination as they're more than a mite bit dissimilar from each other externally. Although both manage to fall under the broader cool part of the spectrum anyway.

That really isn't that much of an issue. It all went poop in the mid 70's. This is just as reliable as any other classic car. But more stylish.
 
Sub zero, looks great and had a wonderful engine.
Also, the shifter position is similar to that of an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce.

Perhaps, although some Italian cars pile up more poop on top of an already poopy general reliability. But it is more stylish, which is why I still gave it a SZ. It's only a minor knock for me, the lack of reliability.
 
An attractive alternative to the Ferrari version, as well as having the same engine.

Cool.

Sorry to crush your dreams, but the Spiders are selling for about $100k. Coupes are about half that.

Ouch. That's one way to shatter hopes and dreams... :(

Don't worry, I'm not being that serious about what I just said, it's only obvious that the car's rarity is now paying its due price.

That's better than a few hundred thousand. The Fiat versions are achievable. The Ferrari? Nah.

308 GT4s are still a good buy. Shame they are kinda ugly though. It's basically a 308 GTB underneath, so they drive pretty good.

206 and 246 Dinos on the other hand....big money!
 
I love these little things--I mean, who'd expect a car of this type from this period would have a V6? (much less one shared with a Ferrari)--but only one Fiat will ever garner a SZ vote from me. Cool. But stunning.
 
I'm sorry, but I've never been a fan of classic styling. The spider model in particular just looks so... Bland!

Seriously. Un. Cool. End of story.
 
Sub zero on that steering wheel alone. Just look at that. I'd sit in there just to stare at it.

Everything else is not bad either. The ragtop is amazing.
