I'm proud to own a small part of the genuis's beautiful artistic legacy.

Rest in peace, Sergio.

you cant expect the news outlets to research anything. rush it to print, we will check the facts later.!! :shock:

i think in honor of Sergio, fiat should resurrect the 124 spider in a brand new retro edition! just like GM Ford and Dodge have all done! it has been very successful for them. we need to start a write-in campaign!

Uh, I like that one, but it needs the hood bulges to really strike the Spider note.

I Think I'll take the Pininfarina out for a drive tonight with nothing but the exhaust note as background music, in memory of Sergio.

RIP :cry:

Never knew Farina was his real name. My Grandmother's maiden name was Farina.
