Re:Fiat Duna &Ugly poll

["Tim Hancock" <timhancock@domain.elided>]

I read this and spat out my dummy

<By the way, on the (not) official site of the FIAT Duna,  the poll for
ugliest car of all time currently stands as:

Alfa Romeo Arna,  2696 votes   (27%)
 Fiat Duna, 1928 votes   (20%)
 Skoda Felicia, 1547 votes  (16%)
Fiat Multipla, 1487 votes  (15%)
 NSU Prinz 1000,  1205  votes (12%)
Fiat Palio, 959 votes  (10%)>

Can't take this one lying down.....The voters might well be ignorant of the
fact that one of these so called 'uglies' sold well over a million units in
four years. I doubt all the others added together sold half that much. As a
Skoda Felicia owner I am naturally outraged by this insinuation and would
contend that it is not a bad looking little car at all. The voters clearly
need a new optician.

Also, getting into my pedantic pyjamas, which FIAT Multipla do they mean, the
Modern bug eyed monster or the old rear engined one that looked like a giant
woodlouse back in the sixties!

In high dudgeon, or even higher dudgeon if that sounds better.

P.S. our Felicia estate transported a rather nice oak desk back home this
evening, I will not hear a word against the car or the desk.
