my wife had a fiat mille in brazil. it looked like a tiny vw rabbit, with a high revving 1L enigne. fiat brazil seemed to have done nothing to change the design in about 20 years. we bounced that thing over countless backroads all over southeast brazil, it was a rock. it had a very solid suspension and just kept going and going. i would love to import one. aaron '87 syncro gl
