Yes, the Italians like their Italian cars and the French like their French cars. I've spent a lot of time in both countries and for example, you see Fiat Seicentos and Lancia Ypsilons everywhere in Italy and rarely in France. In France, you see Renault Twingos and Renault Clios everywhere and they're not a common sight in Italy.
Seeing as this is nowhere near the original topic, I'll just say this- a damn good car is the first generation Fiat Panda. The FIRE engine is dead reliable if maintained right and the last one of the old style Pandas (2003) were simple, old fashioned cars in a time when most car manufacturers were trying to cram as many electronics into their cars as they could.
Corvairs.. I almost bought one but I ended up buying a '62 Bug instead. Sold almost a year ago and sorely missed.
