Oppo AMG GT and I have arrived in Florence. To start off, oui hon hon hon, merci Twingo! BE WARNED: TWINGO MADNESS AHEAD

New, yellow Twingo with pinstripes—100% would daily.

Pre-facelift ML320 W163 in crappy shape, like many examples these days.

Won’t stop the Twingo madness yet. Here’s a blue one.

What is this.

Multipla, 2nd boring gen.

Euro Passat and Multipla, awesome 1st gen.

Here’s another TWINGO!

The Italians really like their Twingos.

And we end on some forbidden fruit; a 5-Series M Sport Touring.

Cool! Love all the Twingos and the 5 series touring looks so good.

I wish Twingos were in the US. I’d totally buy a few :D

That Guardie Zoofile suv is a Tata Safari. Wait a Tata in Italy, what?

According to Google Translate, ‘Guardie Zoofile’ means ‘bestiality police’. I didn’t know it was that much of a problem in Italy.

Ditto - I really like the Twingo, although what got me interested was the previous generation bodystyle (the ones pictured here are either current or much older), the 133 w/ Cup chassis.

133hp in a car this size would be a hoot, and a nice alternative to the Fiat 500. It’s also a nice looking car without having that overly aggressive, “I’m going to kill you” look that most cars have now.

Yes, they are (or were) sold there.

I’ve driven an i10 (around Iceland). Apart from being the most basic car in the developed world because Avis got the most economy of economy specs (no intermittent wipe!) it was fine. -ish.

Watching this on Top Gear was what got me to like Twingos... that’s the generation that comes up in my mind.

According to this yes.

I think it’s actually the equivalent of PETA or the RSPCA, but it’s a good GT error :)

Makes sense!

davedave1111 > pjhusa 12/30/2015 at 08:02

It’s probably more likely :)

Of course, then we have the irony of the animal protection people driving around in a vehicle called ‘Safari’...
