I blame the Argentine attitude personally. Italy can be frustrating, but nothing like here.

This could open some lively discussion. I believe Northern Italian members would say this is a ‘Southern Italian attitude?’

Let's leave it at 'maybe'

Yes, of course. Northern Italy have had a very different history regarding the south. Northern Italy had received the influence of France in the Piedmont and of Austria in the eastern part, especially after the Restoration made by Metternich in 1814.
I think that the "italian attitude" is a prejudice here, as well as other prejudices: e.g. "Englishmen are pirates." The sad thing is this is very common, every time that in the media the speakers refers to Italy there are some people who speaks Italian with a very rude Southern accent, just making the language ridiculous. Of course, they do no dare to do it with the English language.
The main question is: where do you have more confidence and trust to do a business: in Milan or in Catanzaro? The response is obvious.

Well, to be honest, in the UK we always considered British cars to be unreliable in the 70s and 80s, with Italian cars showing continental flare.
In fact, I one had a company car made by British Leyland in 1985, called a Morris Ital. Enough said.

In this country British cars were always considered solid , with good finishings and reliable, although not "modern" as those from other countries.
My old Flying Standard 1947 served from 1947 to 1961, and all was right.

That mirrors the years of my parents’ trusty Studebaker, one of the top three ugliest cars ever made. But it did the job.
Cuter as a toy than in real life.

I remember very well that Studebaker. For me it was not ugly, even, it appeared futuristic as the movie of 1951 "Destination Moon". (Then appeared in the history of Tintin, by Hergé.)
Nowadays there are many ugliest cars, as those called "boxy cars".
Fiat is producing one of those.

Perhaps the worst of these boxy cars is the Nissan Cube, which I believe is among the models that will be discontinued this year.
In Nissan’s own words: “The Nissan cube is squarely unconventional, with a bold but friendly front grille inspired by a bulldog wearing shades....”

Good decision, eh?
