Art Center Monterey Tour Attracts Sponsor

Chubb Collector Car Insurance will sponsor this new tour, scheduled for August 14-15, 2011 (see events page). 

Chubb was involved in this year’s California Mille.  The company was warmly received by the participants.  Potential participants in the Art Center event are debating what car to bring.  I’m trying to decide between a new Audi S-5, a ’92 Subaru SVX and the new Fiat 500, all Italian designs.  The Audi is the handiwork of Walter deSilva, who recently declared it was his best design yet.  Giorgetto Giugiaro did the SVX.  The production car was almost identical to the teaser show car.  Giugiaro surely was pleased to see his ideas executed so faithfully.  As for the 500, Fiat did a beautiful job of capturing the essence of the original in a totally modern package.  Which one would you choose?
