The Fiat 130 Coupe with that icy face, elegant shapes and powerful V6 engine whose sound is simply sublime, is one of the most fascinating cars ever. I love that gorgeous Fiat, a piece of Italian art!

Well a Rover dual Plenum V8 would have been the best engine in a 130 and gamma

The 130 Coupe is one of my favorite designs for coupes of the 1970s. Very handsome

The 130 Coupe deserved the Rover V8

The Peugeot 504 is easily the best. He was talking nonsense about the ride and handling. The 504 would have been the best of the three and of course it had all the other sound engineering to go with it. And the Coupe 504 would have had disc brakes all round, all round independent suspension and a fuel injected V6 or 4 cylinder that actually worked, a novelty in the 70s! Then there are the looks, the 504 coupe wins hands down. And no, the 504 saloon was a very handsome car and not dowdy at all. Over three and half million happy customers were not wrong. I was one of them - the 504 saloon I had was the best car I have ever owned. I wish I still had it now.

This video reminds me of a Hitchcock movie from the 50s.

was that a green screen for the driving shots?!

I'm amazed the BBC went in for these hammy studio shots with the presenter uselessly twisting the steering wheel back and forth like something out of a Holllywood B-movie.

It's because the feature is sending up a genre of television in which the "heroes" would have driven cars like this in just such a manner, in studios. It's tongue in cheek.

The green screen is a joke guys, the review is meant to look like a 70s TV show hence 'The coupes' title

These cars were all sublime. I have a particular weakness for the Fiat. Their saloon versions weren't "stodgy", I feel, just less glamorous. Not a great review in that respect.

Awful review. The green screen and the horrible script while the car was rocked to simulate movement made for an inauthentic appraisal of three interesting and iconic cars. Dismal.

Steve Berry from the time when top gear was good he used to do the motorcycle reviews on top gear before Clarkson banned them he hates motorbikes 🏍

Think Clarkson had left Top Gear by this time, this was the late 90s and he didn't come back until the reboot in 2002
