    Default Spotted Cars in Europe

    As a few of you know, I studied abroad this summer in Europe (Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice, Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Brussels, Oxford, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Amsterdam). I tried to remember to take pictures of awesome/unique cars when I could. Unfortunately I often wasn't quick enough with my camera to catch some of them as they passed, but here are the ones I got.

    Please note, that some of these pictures aren't great due to the fact that they were often taken while I was moving, the car was moving, or both.

    Took this one because I had no idea what it was at the time.


    Really crappy picture of the badass Alfa Romeo cop cars in Italy.






    R8 spotted at an Austrian rest stop




    London definitely had the nicest selection of cars I saw in all of Europe (yes, better than Berlin, Germany)








    A few spotted in Dublin




    And quite possibly my favorite


    Then one last one in Amsterdam



    Sorry again about the picture quality of some of those.

    Do you know what it is now? It's a Fiat Barchetta, just in case.

    I took pics of a few when I was in Europe as well. I loooove the cars over there.

    Thanks, yeah I figured out that it was a Fiat, but still had no idea what model.

    The scenery is much more impressive as well but i cant say that about the actual roads. I would absolutely hate to drive an expensive car over some of those old skinny French and Italian streets that haven't been repaved in decades.

    Even your basic econoboxes are very stylish.

    I'd like an Alfa Romeo 159...hopefully they're not obnoxiously expensive when they come over here.

    I know what you are talking about. I remember hearing that the Fiat 500 has a chance of coming over here because of BMW. Strange as the 500 is the only competition for the Mini.

    They started selling the 500 in India, and my cousin and I were talking about how useless it was. It's too expensive and too small for anyone who buys cars in India.

    Looks so nice though...the interior is so flash.

    Meaning it's only a three-door hatch when mainstream vehicles are small sedans and five-doors. Also, it's wayyy too expensive for what it offers. India doesn't really have a big market for novelty cars...but I guess its growing.

    Maybe the owner just bought it because he/she wanted a coupe for basic transportation.
