Quote:

It may be slow and stumpy, but the Fiat 500 has a "wholesomeness" that makes it the sexiest car in the world.

That's according to a survey of the world's sexiest cars by British motoring magazine Top Gear.

The Fiat 500 driver is the sort of person who "doesn't have to try", Top Gear editor James May said.

"Our No. 1 sexiest car, the Fiat 500, advertises nothing about its owner, except that it's someone who doesn't need to try. So you look, and you know. You would, wouldn't you?"

The Fiat 500 beat the Aston Martin DBS and Maserati Quattroporte into first place.

"Everyone, from strapping blokes to fainting flowers of womanhood, looks sexually charged behind its wheel," the magazine said.

"It works irrespective of age, beauty, wealth and position; even a nun in a 500 seems to telegraph a faint tingle of the procreative urge."

In Sydney in the '70s the car was known as the Fiat Bambino. It was known in Europe as Cinquecento (500 in Italian).

Top Gear's top 10 sexiest cars:

1. Fiat 500.
2. Aston Martin DBS.
3. Maserati Quattroporte.
4. Chevrolet Camaro.
5. Citroen C6.
6. Lincoln Continental.
7. Bentley Continental S1 Fastback.
8. BMW M1.
9. Rolls-Royce Phantom.
10. Sally the Porsche 911 Carrera (from the Pixar film Cars).

Not a single Ferrari on the list??? Shocked

And I presume that they polled 100 Fiat employees for this?

I like the 500, they were definitley full of character, but I prefer the 132

I had a couple of them in the 1980s, but sadly there are hardly any left now (at least in the UK) because the rain made them dissolve.

Well, as much as I enjoy watching 'Top Gear', as far as the thread title goes, I'd have to give a resounding NO! My little 'Escort' van looks 'sexier' than that, even with the paint and dirt holding the rust together Embarassed

...

Those little Fiats are workhorses though, My chums managed to cram 24 people into 1 of 'em and drive it. It would have been 25 people, but I refused to get in and walked to the party instead. I got there 5 minutes before them, by the way Laughing

I think maybe they better step back and take another look.

Sexy? A car?

The only thing a car and sex have in common, is.....if the car has a very large and comfortable back seat Idea

You foreigners with your little cars, probably don't know what I'm talking about. If you want to talk sex......you gotta have a Buick Roadmaster or Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Now those are sexy! Laughing
