I've noticed this a lot recently...... a lot of people turn their heads to look at the Coop...but when you look at them, they then quickly turn their heads the other way to make it look as if they aren't checking your car out! But the funniest one is when you have drivers around your nearside/offside rear areas - when they are behind you, they will stare at your car and then soon as they are parallel to you, its eyes and head straight ahead! Of course some people will keep staring for ages to the extent that it becomes almost uncomfortable!

I caught a few people head turning to look at my car earlier. They were probably thinking 'who is the noisy git with the silly exhaust and whooshing turbo?''.

One thing I've noticed is that the colour of the car really affects how many heads that turn! Green 16VT - Not many looking at all. Sprint Blue 20VT with bling alloys - LOADS of heads swivel Steel Grey 20VT - The odd person taking a second look Moon Grey 20VT - More than the Steely, but not Sprinty level. So there you have it. If you like to be centre of attention, Sprint Blue is for you! I'd wager though that Broom Yellow could be the ultimate for any 'attention whore'
Coopless!

Mine's a "speed rosso" red and I find it gets loads of looks, but a neighbour has an inky blue, which gets a lot less looks (although I always look at it!). Both are VT6's.
I'm sure you're right that broom yellow will get most looks, but I think that speed rosso will come second, slightly ahead of a sprinty.
Don't mean to diss the scotty, but even I wouldn't look!

Tell me about it, I've noticed a lot of people looking at my car now, especially parking it up. Usually come back finding someone looking inside.
The cashier at the petrol station said that I had a nice looking Ferrari today.

I'd wager though that Broom Yellow could be the ultimate for any 'attention whore' I definitely agree with this! - I've had 4 coupes, 2 sprint blues, a broom yellow & electric blue plus - and the plus (supposidly 'top dog' in the coupe world) got the least amount of looks ... by a preverbial mile Also I thinks those two colours definitely are enhanced the best by the fitment of LE/zender skirts & aftermarket alloys

but a neighbour has an inky blue, which gets a lot less looks Same with my ink black. It hardly attracts any attention except from the few people who know what it is.

Having had broom yellow, speed red and ink black coupes, yellow is easily the most attention grabbing one. People let you out of junctions, thumbs up off people, wave at you or just stand there and stare at it haha. Speed red, bit more subtle but still lots of attention and ferrari comments, people cutting you up etc or tailgating. Ink black, bit of a stealthy one, admiring glances and night time even had a group of women in a limo shout out the window 'nice ferrari' haha . Need to get another soon!

Came out the petrol station to one person dribbling at it and two others in a beemer driving past it at 1 mph staring at it lol. Its de-badged all round too so don't think people even know what it is prob think it's a kit car or something!

The Fiat Coupe.
Turning more motorist and pedestrian heads since 1994 than a dirty billboard sign. Yep! Short of supercars, not many cars turn heads, grab your attention like coupes . Due to their rarity and stunning unique design
