Don't get me wrong, I like the 124. The styling is decent, the top is light years ahead of the British stuff of the era, the engine is much more 'rev-able', it has all sorts of good things going for it. What kills it for me is the sit up and beg driving position, I just don't feel comfortable driving hard when the steering wheel is tilted at a bus-type angle. Fiat obviously knew better, too; the X 1/9 did not have that steering wheel position. Also, the transmission does not have the 'rifle bolt' feel of the MGB.
