OK it's now at 93%. But with 10,100 votes, the others show 0% each. Our Spiders must be more popular than we suspected!

Maybe they should have just looked at the August '76 Car and Driver.
They tested the 12 available convertibles made that year and the Fiat 124 Spider came out on top.
One of the reasons I bought one that summer. Well that and the fact I couldn't afford the Corniche.

You guys realize that this will probably go into some calculations somewhere and raise parts prices. 8)

The more popular our cars get, the more demand for parts, the higher the production volume, the lower the parts prices. Or something like that :?

John,did you question them re. glitches in these surveys?I also get SCM Insider,and have voted in many surveys.The item listed last almost always show 0%.I tried today,and Fiat and MG show 0% with 10250 votes.Alfa leads with 6%. Hmmm,they lead with only 615 votes out of over 10000? Doesnt add up somehow !! :D

Craig, where do you see the number of votes for each car? When I hit the "results" button all I get are percentages. :cry:

Kevin,it is listed below the results,and is sort of transposed in the column below the active one.I know...the whole thing isnt very well done.If you go to the SCM home page it is a little better,but the results are still screwed up.I get alerts from SCM all the time and have participated in many polls and they are always messed up!This is the first time I really care about the results.

Yes,

I sent their web administrator an e-mail regarding this issue.

I gotta laugh... 25,000 votes for the Spider! Way to be subtle, and not flood the results guys! LOL

Been away for a couple of days, but there can't be that many Fiats left in North America, never mind that many Fiat fans! :shock: What gives?
