The 1980 Fiat Brava: Such a Deal!

In 1980, Americans with a hankering for a snazzy European sedan could have headed for a BMW or Audi showroom... but those cars cost real money! Not so with the Fiat Brava (aka Fiat 131)- you could get one for $3,000 cheaper than a 320i. There must be a catch there somewhere, right?
