This will feature the Coupe as "overlooked exotica" along with 4 other cars.

I have just received my postal copy of the magazine.

Pretty poor write up which continues some common untruths.

The car was designed by Pininfarina is the first one; they designed the inside. What they didn't say is that the majority of the Coupe was designed by Fiat's in house team headed up by Chris Bangle.

They also state that fuel consumption is 18 mpg: I wonder if they were thrashing it round a track such as Spa -Francorchamps which would bring the fuel to those levels.

In the 21 years I have had my identical 16VT, around 30mpg is what I get

But they didn't say engine out for cambelt change. Hooray.

Lazy journalism unfortunately. If you’ve heard of (or look up about) the “Gell-Mann amnesia effect” it will say that as a result you cannot trust anything else written in the publication (that you are less knowledgeable about) to be accurate either!

I was about to get the issue but probably won't bother now

Just a shame they don't run copy through FCCUK for accuracy prior to publishing.

Who was the journalist?

It no longer matters. Journalism as we knew it is dead. They are no longer reporters, rather repeaters. Its the same reason all the news channels report exactly the same 'news'.

Our neighbour has just resigned as a journalist on a local paper after working for them for 25 years because the owner has moved the paper towards click bait 'articles' rather than local news and she wants to talk to people not repeat standard news feed. The reason the owner gives is there is no money in news anymore, only ads.

It was the editor, Danny Hopkins, He actually chose the coupe over 4 others.

I quote "Fast Fiats have always been in the shadow of cousins from Lancia and Alfa Romeo" (True that) "yet the coupe is more Pininfarina than Fiat - the Italian design house responsible for design and build" (they designed the interior and built the cars.)
