Well you have to see the context of what was offered to the U.S. market at the time. MB 300 series and BMW 5 series oh and the very scarce Peugeot. I drove all but the Pug and to me the 164 was more engaging and absolutely more unique than the other offerings. In southern California all my counterparts drove the dime a dozen German cars and I never wanted to be part of that crowd. As you can see by the number of 164's sold that they were not that popular but now it's about the only Italian sedan that represents the era. I love the way it drives and makes me feel different from the crowd.
A respected automotive writer once said "You admire German cars but fall in love with Italian cars"
