Ciao,
Attualmente, in Francia, la stampa specializzata automobilistica ha scatenato l'opinione pubblica contro di le vetture italiane (stato critico della FIAT etc..."). Fa un macello.
Sono francese, ma origine italiana : mi sento umiliato.
Ho vergogna di essere francese.
Come non parla abbastanze bene l'Italiano, mi permetta di continuare in inglese.
Here are some "spots" extracted from some french car magazines :
"...FIAT is dead : cheap cars, not reliable, the Italian car maker is unable to have the German standard of Quality : the last judgment : FIAT MUST DIE... with all its "Pizza cars"..."
Of course, the other "Pizza Cars" are Lancia, Alfa Roméo, Maserati and Ferrari...
Let me continue :
FOR LANCIA :
"... It's been a long time that this car maker is a ZOMBIE (in italian : Lancia sembra un morto che cammina)... The reason why ? : very poor quality cars. In the past, it is a miracle if Lancia has won the World Rally Championship. Peugeot 206 WRC can stay relax, Lancia will never build another Integrale because Lancia is dead..."
FOR ALFA ROMEO :
"...cars for show-off people (let me translate into italian : una vettura per il sbruffone)..."
"...One can not compare Italian horses to German/French horses : Porsche, BMW, Audi, VW and our Frenchy cars makes the most powerful and reliable engines in the world...Italians are the most fragile..."
"...Alfa is a dwarf compared to BMW and Audi (let me translate into Italian : Alfa e un nano davanti a BMW o Audi)..."
"...L'Alfa 156 GTA versus BMW M3 : It must be a joke ! l'Alfa eats the dust behind the BMW M3 ! ..."
"...Alfa 156 GTA ? : Italian people are so boastful (let me translate into italian : L'Italiano e un spaccone)...."
FOR MASERATI :
"... Maserati wants to compete with Jaguar and Porsche : Ridiculous ! Maserati will not make its own motors anymore. The Biturbo engines production has recently stopped. Technically too old. Too fragile. Bye Bye Maserati..."
FOR FERRRAI :
"... Bernie Ecclestone is corrupted by Ferrari..."
My friends, Alfista, Deltista, Maseratista and so on, I have to say how much I am disgusted. These articles make me sick. Currently, it is very fashionable to make fun of italian cars. These car makers which have designed the most exciting and beautiful cars ever made in the world.
These words to say how much I am disgusted and ashamed of being French !
I have never seen such a campaign of hate and lies !!!
All the bookmakers in France say that General Motors will "buy" FIAT Group (even FERRARI and MASERATI) for 1 Euro. Italy will do the same thing that England a few years ago ( Bankruptcy of Rover et...).
I hope the Italian car Industry will resolve its difficulties and will find again its rank among the Top car manufacturers : Number One !!!!
And this is my answer :
F**ck BMW/Mercedes
F**ck Audi/VW/Porsche
F**ck all Frenchy cars
FORZA LANCIA, ALFA, FIAT, MASERATI
FORZA FERRARI
Forever !
