Europcar.ch has some sporty and flashy cars in its "fun car" rental fleet.

Well a Miata is hardly a Chevelle SS IMHO.

You mean an MX5 - as sold in Europe.

And you're right, hardly a Chevelle SS. The MX-5 goes round corners

So does a moped..wait, don't they have the same engine?

Yet to see a moped with an 1800cc engine

The MX5 (facelifted Mk1) was superb - I did a group test for a magazine many years ago - and I was blown away by the handling and superb gearbox - in all honesty it close to the perfect car** for the twisty stuff we have in Switzerland.

** I don't own one and have never owned one, and generally prefer to have bit more power than it ever offered - but that is missing the point

How is an x5 , better known as the "hairdressers car " a Muscle car

note, these are the words of the Top Gear lads..but in all fairness, the Miata/X5 is known for it.

The poster speaks for itself..

* I do not wish to offend anyone with the picture attched, its just to show why its called a " hairdressers car " *

OP said he wanted an American muscle car... not a car that goes 'round corners.

((( mate of mine used to have a '69 Camaro SS ragtop... that thing was beautiful... til he took a turn too wide and wrapped it around a tree ))))

Now seriously, I don't know why we are even talking about this toaster on wheels. I had diarhhea with more torque than a Miata.

Awwcome on...like you've never been to that one Taco stand (everybody knows not to go to) at around 4:30am after a decent night out...before passing out in the park with a shoe missing and your pants on backwards.
