    Quite a lot of people talking shtie on this thread.
    Agreed. Fiat are one of the most innovative brands of all. Top 5 anyway. Toyota have had their moments, but their shower of dull-boxes dampen the memories!! VW have had their ups and downs. The big French 3 have their classics a-plenty. Opel have a lot of mediocrity though. They are struggling for innovation history. The Insignia is fantastic, but apart from the Omega and a few Lotus models, I'm sorry to say it's the first Opel ever that I'd actually buy with my own money! But there has been worse, so I wouldn't have them at the bottom.
    I'm sure there's a Chinese model or two that are crap. What have Lada done either? Daewoo are poor alright. Kia and Hyundai are trying at least, and beating others at their own game, so wouldn't criticise. I always thought the C'eed is the car the crappy Auris should have been.

    Can't agree - almost all of these produced something interesting at one point at least.

    You're better off, they were woeful! The "Anything French 1000" was particularly bad, but the worst of all was the "Anything French Oooh-la-laaaa". As ironically named as the Mitsubishi Charisma and the Nissan Sunny! :D

    Why did Irish people think Jordan were an Irish F1 team? :p

    Probably a similar reason to why we thought Opel were Irish because they sponsored the football team.

    Can't agree there. Citroen: DS, Traction Avant, 2CV, CX and the cheap 'n cheerful MPVs they're making at the moment. Great cars.
    Peugeot: Pioneers in diesel and continue to be so. Indeed they make the only truly reliable high tech diesels at the moment as far as I can see. Not to mention the 205s GTI and non GTI, the Rallye variations, the 505...many others if I had the time.
    Renault's been covered already.

    FIAT made the original small car; the Topolino. Their current range is pretty good too. The stereotype is a lazy one at best.

    I wouldnt agree with this even in recent years pug 106gti, 205gti, 306gti, saxo vts, renault clio any sporty model and the new renault megane hot hatch would be brilliant cars. No forgetting a citreon ds and other classics also

    A Kia Cee'd is a decent car. Crap brand but decent cars. Anyone who knows what they're talking about will admit this.

    Yeah yeah, your right. I drive a Pug myself, however, everything just seems to brake in it :mad:

    205 GTi = I want one

    I think the that Rover many people know today is very different to the original Rover that used to be one step below a Rolls Royce. It was only in the 1980's, with the spreading of the brand down to Austin's, that its values started to diminish.

    Nothing wrong with it. That's the problem for me - there's nothing new, innovative, risky, challenging or controversial about it. It's a car for the middle of the road, which adds nothing to the evolution of the automobile. If every manufacturer thought like this, we would still be driving beetles and 2CVs.

    Rover SD1 were well loved.

    Even Jeremy Clarkson was extremely impressed by the 75, it was only later he decided for no reason to hate it.

    The MG ZS in 180BHP guise is considered one of the better hot hatches of the decade in the UK.

    refueling the car required lifting the hood, filling the tank with 24 liters of gasoline, then adding two-stroke oil and shaking it back and forth to mix.
