Alfa Romeo Alfasud 2+1 Giardenetta

Well, we couldn't lure anybody into adding to our list of 2-door Wagons and Shooting Brakes (sad face). So we'll just add this one that we'd missed previously; the Alfa Romeo Alfasud 2+1-door Giardinetta. Powered by a 71 (some sources say 75) horsepower 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, the Giugiaro-designed 3-door estate was produced from 1975-1978.

Ever wonder why it was named Alfasud? That's because it was produced at the then-new Pomigliano d-Arco facility in the south of Italy. Get it? Sud? South? But you knew that already, didn't you.

You can forget finding one of these for sale in the States. Still want one? Here's your best bet.
