As I farewell the new boy, it is closely followed by the tram it will be replacing on route 59, the venerable B class.
While the B class are solid, reliable and comfortable, their lack of low floor access really does make them not fit for use, this far into the 21st century.

My preference out of those 2 is the Volvo, but the truth is I would instead get the Fiat 130 coupe

This pretty much sums up why I keep my 2014 Ford Falcon XR6.
I own it outright (bought it new) have driven 335,000km in it and it only ever requires basic maintenance.
Bombproof reliability & no tech that spies on me.

Giugiaro was prolific.
VW Golf (Mk 1), Fiat Panda, DMC DeLorean, Maserati Bora, Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, BMW M1 and my personal favourite of his, the Iso Grifo.
Giugiaro's work didn't stop at cars. Trucks, cameras, telephones, firearms, the man designed everything.
As I said, prolific.
