Boxy, maybe, but they had that strangely slopng rear end. One had to get used to it. Last one I had was a '82. Traded it in for a used 123 in '86 + a ton of cash. Resale value of these cars was zip. When it comes to Ero's, here is my take: Brits - non exist, barely Germans - Over priced and over engineered Italians - the very opposite (except for things on stroids and the latest 500 joke) French - well made affordabele transportation devices My $0.02.
