Peter Vack's article about the 164 with my input says it all for me
VeloceToday - Online Magazine for Italian Car Enthusiasts! I have had my 164 for almost 18 years and still haven't found an offering in the US market to replace it. We now have 9 in the family between my son, daughter and myself.
We were just as crazy about Fiat Spiders, 131, Brava and X1/9. Never warmed up to Milano 2.5 or GTV6 even though I have owned them and never had a Verde. Had a Spica Spider but Fiat Spiders look better for me. Our 79 Alfetta was too underpowered for me.
Had Lancia Beta FWD and Scorpion aka Mone Carlo mid engine. For what I use 164 for sport sedan driving and family trips nothing has filled the void for us.
