German engineering with a dash of Mediterranean flair

It is not so long ago that anything other than premium brand cars were pretty basic, poorly equipped and frankly a bit dull. These cars were driven out of necessity rather than by someone who had a real desire to drive one. To put it bluntly, these cars themselves were not enticing, you never felt the desire to buy one, but all that has changed. The current crop of new cars on the market today are a far cry from those described above. Look at the dashing Ford Fiesta, or the Alfa Romeo Guiletta as just two examples of compact cars with style.
