One of the greatest forms of losermobile is the kind that is let down completely not by design, but by birth. Either shoddy workmanship, materials or both result in a great design being little more than a cautionary tale in the annals of automotive history.
A great example of that is the Alfa Romeo Alfasud, a sporty, fun-to-drive car that was everything one could hope for, while also being an unrepentant rust magnet! In the case of the ‘Sud, the design was willing, but bad metallurgy and cost cutting doomed it, and the resulting flesh was weak, so to say.
Obviously, having a replica of a loser like that is high on my list, and I was ecstatic when I got my Solido Cougars and found one of them was, indeed, an Alfasud!
While it may not be a kit, I do think this is one of the only ways to get a replica of an Alfasud, so enjoy a look at a car that you certainly don’t see in real life anymore!
