Heard the one about the De Tomaso supermini? Right this way...
After the Yin of last week’s Volkswagen Phaeton V10 TDI, Brave Pill is going full Yang this time with what must be about the most opposite car possible. Yep, it’s a four-cylinder, front-wheel-driven Japanese supermini.
While ‘DeTomaso’ looks less incongruous writ large on the side of a Charade, the name is likely to trigger memories of the brawny Mangusta and Pantera sportscars created by Alejandro De Tomaso’s eponymous company. Yet both come from the same origin. That’s because, after establishing his own company, De Tomaso took control of Innocenti in the mid-1970s. He then led the Italian assembler of Mini-based hatchbacks through a switch to Daihatsu power.
Japanese buyers expected plentiful goodies in the nineties, even on superminis, and the De Tomaso got a Nardi leather steering wheel, branded Recaro sports seats, alloy wheels and a chunky little bodykit as standard – plus air conditioning. While an automatic version was available, our Pill has got the proper five-speed manual.
