In response to our post yesterday about the planned Fiat dealership in Berkeley, several commenters wondered what car qualifies as the most Berkeley ever.
Might it be the venerable VW van, so popular during the city’s counter-cultural heyday? Reader Charles Siegel certainly thinks so. Wilbur W. votes for the Alfa Romeo Spider as featured in The Graduate, which was partly shot in Berkeley. Others might argue the environmentally friendly Toyota Prius is emblematic of our city.
