It screams "Team Mexico" to me. Which probably means it has heavy fuel consumption, is slow to start, and won't work in the afternoon.

Only if you stand on your head. The green would be at the top of it was Mexican.

So it actually screams team Italy, which is lucky, being an Italian marque and all.

I like the tricolouré

Their flags are identical apart from a coat of arms, I'm almost certain of it.
And they run vertically.

And standing on my head won't change the flags at all (or anything else for that matter).

Yep.....that's the one right there. Almost a "two-tone with a tricolor element". I like that a lot.
