No contest. TR6.
Bloodied in the last VS thread.. and knocked out in this one.. the Fiat 124 has finally fallen.. behold the new winner and champion.. the Triumph TR6!
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.
