Because as much as /o/ claims to like fun, they want their cars to be econoboxes. They can't understand wanting a car for the sole reason of enjoyment, they're always fettered by their instinctual benchracing.

Shitaly makes loads of econoboxes, some of them are even pretty good.

>>15169714
Because unless your going to spend over $200k the car is guaranteed to be an unreliable shitbox with tons of competition in its class being produced by superior companies.

Like, Honda, right? :^)

>>15169769
Like literally anything. Yes, Honda is one example.

That goes for American cars as well.

Because they're afraid of the reborn Alfa Romeo master race

In the US at least, Italian cars are relatively expensive and it can be hard to find parts for them.

>>15169874
Also, since there aren't that many of them on the road, finding a mechanic that has any sort of experience working on them can be next to impossible depending on where you live.

>>15169714
Because electronics matter.

Most of /o simply doesn't live in Europe.
Italian cars really aren't that much worse than most other countries vehicles in terms of reliability but they got a horrible name in the us because they imported a bunch of shitty cars made with shitty steel and didn't have a dealer or repair network. Jim down at the gas station was too retarded to fix the vehicles properly. my buddy just picked up a 124 for like 1200 dollars and rebuilt the engine and put a new soft top on it and its a fucking amazing little car all for under 5k. sure he had to do some wiring but who cares?

The price point where things start to get interesting is much, much lower with American cars.

>>15169714
American prejudice against Italians is at least 100 years old, not sure why you expect any better from /o/.
