[edit] Microcars
Cars that are very small but are as fast and capable as larger cars.
The Vespa comes from a company called Piaggio, named after a family of industrialists whose aircraft-making facilities in Tuscany were bombed during the Second World War. On Enrico Piaggio's initiative, it went into making low-cost two-wheelers.
Worse, we think Cadillacs and Lincolns instead of Fiats and Piaggios. Of the twenty best-selling cars in Italy, none is bigger than a Volkswagen Golf. If Tony Soprano, or even Luigi down the block, were really Italian, he'd be driving a Fiat Punto.
