Long, long time ago a Fiat dealer used to have to take so many of the slow selling 128 sedans in order to get the desired hot selling 124 Spiders and X1/9's. So all the dealers would advertise the 128's cheap, $1,995 as I remember. One dealer, with a wicked sense of humor, used to advertise them as 128 "SB"'s, the SB standing for s--t box, so every time you would look in the paper and see 128 SB, it would cause an evil grin.
But the point is any of the new SB's are pretty awesome cars. No more Pinto's, early Escorts, Vega's, Chevett's, Horizons, cars we all hated, cars that were especially terrible.
The base level cars nowadays are almost all able to go 0-60 in less than 10 seconds and are very decent driving, handling and I dare say, decent looking cars. Even an SB with an automatic lately, as this used to be the worst possible combo, are pretty decent.
