And this is the best line from Rocky IV:
I used to see a gut tooling around in a yellow Jalpa near my house in the 1980s. (Mind you,we were definitely not wealthy but my house was near a local mall). I have always been fond of the Jalpa. It still has great lines (more subdued than the Countach)and pretty respectable performance.
