Speaking of Italy, some say that the Alfa Romeo Alfasud was the best car ever designed, and the worst ever built.
It was launched two years before the VW Golf Mk1. It had a Giugiaro bodywork, boxer engine, four-wheel disc brakes, and a very sophisticated suspension.
However, the Alfasud was built with Russian steel, and cars rested outdoors before entering the painting shop. Also workers had more strikes than working hours.
