FIAT 500 Wins Sexiest Car Poll
Automotive news: the FIAT 500 has been voted the sexiest car by readers of Top Gear magazine. The small car beat of rivals such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Vauxhall, to take top honours in the poll that is usually seen as a good indicator of the styles of car we can expect to see in the future. The news also brings more success for the makers of what has been ridiculed as a ‘Noddy’ car after its resemblance to the vehicle driven by the famous children’s character. Snr. Moltovani, spokesman for FIAT, said that the company takes the honour seriously. ‘We Italians are proud to be known for their sexiness,’ he admitted before coquettishly flicking of his yellow scarf above his red shirt and pushing back his blue hat with yellow bobble. ‘We hope to build on this success,’ he added, ‘and in a few years, we believe FIAT will be known as the makers of the car that James Bond drives.’
In other news, the owners of the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise have announced the next film in the series. After ‘Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift’, the sequel is to be set in Italy. ‘The Stuck and the Spittle: Rome Roundabout’ will be marketed with the tag-line, ‘And so’s your Mamma!’. It should reach cinemas at Christmas, 2008, traffic permitting.

Did they do that survey on April 1st or something? Wow… that is disturbing on so many levels. I thought the Subaru 360 would have taken that easy.

I agree. What were they thinking? There’s a thousand sexier cars out there… Then again, a poll gave us Prescott in government. Perhaps this says something about democracy.

Kind of a strange choice I must say. But according to Top Gear editor James May, the Fiat 500 driver is a person who “doesn’t have to try,” and that the car “advertises nothing about its owner, except that it’s someone who doesn’t need to try. Not enough reason though to hail it as the sexiest.

I guess I have to defer to James May on this, though I can’t help but feel that it’s a bit of wishful thinking on his behalf. He might hope that if he applies this principle to his life, it should make him more of a ladies man than George Clooney.

I’m all for small cars but is it really sexy? Perhaps it is in that unsexy way that Berlusconi seems to attract the ladies. I guess it all depends on whose doing the driving.
Thanks for the link. I’ll have to give some serious thought to what their new mascot should be.
