Why, when they see an X1/9, do so many Americans (in my experience anyway) confuse it with the Triumph TR7? I can barely recall seeing any TR7s when they were new. Wikipedia says more Fiats were built than the Triumph. I can understand our cars being mistaken for MR-2s or Fieros or Porsche 914s, but why the TR7? This is a very important question, the future of civilization depends on the answer.
