Re: Introducing the all new Allegro*...
As some else has already said that was the Fiat Strada - think the real advertising line was "designed by a computer, silenced by a laser, built by a robot" .... though the (at the time, and proabably still, stunning) TV ad used "handbuilt by robots as its tag line". TV ad was 2 mins long showing what appeared to be a completely automated production line building and painting the cars with a final section of 6 cars driving round a banked test track before driving onto a moving car transporter (Itallian job style)
Not the nine o'clock news did a spoof of the ad replacing the final section of the cars being driven with a massive car smash and the tag line "designed by robots, built by lasers, driven by Italians"
(As for the Allegro - my first car was an Allegro which an elderly aunt gave me as she wasn't driving any more - 8 years old with 8000 miles on the clock! - so I've a more positive view on the Allegro than most!)
Biting the hand that feeds IT
