if one is buying one I'd think that has already been thought thru.
My ex made the mistake of a Fiat.
For a educated proper young lady working as an exec sec'y in her bespoke suit on wall street back then, wow!
What string of potty mouth flowed.
I thought the mechanic was gonna cry.
If it wasn't for the smoking and her desire to procreate, I'da married her.
Her Korean War Marine dad was afraid of her.

That car is amazingly beautiful. It begs the question as to why most cars today are incredibly ugly. This goes triple for all of the hideous pickup trucks. Sure, there are bumper requirements and such that make it difficult to have delicate looking front ends, but they aren't that big of a problem. Also, don't get me started on the idiotic American car dealer decision to eliminate all color from the paint choices available.

aerodynamic efficiency.
few vehicles have had any flavor or individuality since the mid 70s.
even Zagato has been commissioned by Aston Martin for a DB of old.

I don't think there is anyway to make a p.u. truck aerodynamic other than when it's parked.
A Sherman tank is more aero than a p.u.
But the ufugly yota whatever, that is is no doubt more aero than a 70s Chrysler NYer. Not that a 70s NYer was any less ufugly.
Fred Flintstones car was better looking.
