I'd say go with the top one. But then I've never seen whatever is in the second pic before.

Top is a Fiat 132 Coupe, bottom is a Lotus Elite.

Tough call.

So tough, I give up.

I like both, and you all know I very much like quirky cars.. But this time I must go for the classic lines on the Fiat. That thing is just gorgeous.

Elite, the Eclat was a Fastback :)

I'm favoring the 132 too.

The votes seem to favor the Fiat.

I almost bought a Capri very like the one below, only left hand drive because North America. I feel like it's almost between the two.

Did you eat it into a convertible first?

It doesn't behoove you.

I hope you have an elite birthday.

I'd take the Lotus. That Fiat is like an Italian Chevrolet Caprice. And a true Chapman Lotus with an extra dose of shooting-brake practicality is so not a bad thing. (Although going +1 on the wheels - maybe Panasports? - does those '70s-fantastic looks some kind of favor.)

The Capri is nice, but I still prefer the Fiat probably because it's more rare than the Capri.

Aw heck, don't be a nag.

Thank you, and I think I would too... maybe.

I completely forgot about the second gen elite. I just remember that chrome line on the eclats being weird, even for the time.

It's a seventies/eighties Lotus, how could it be anything BUT weird :)

Actually that blue Fiat is currently up on ebay ! Sitting at 12k with 5 days left. reserve not met yet, so that might be a biter.
