If you were asked to pick the car that was the most technically influential on the greatest number of modern cars, what would you pick? Would you go as far back as the Ford Model T, the real, widely accessible proof of concept of the automobile? An early Panhard, which defined the Systeme Panhard, the front-engine, rear-drive layout that defined cars for so long? Maybe you’d be clever and pick the BMC Mini, which, with its transverse front engine, front-wheel drive layout set the template for the vast majority of modern cars? One car I think most people wouldn’t pick, though, would be the Autobianchi Primula, and I think that’s a big mistake.
