I agree, I went to that site... I'm not for interpretation of Italian,
but when using Mozilla 1.5 I get the same result.  Also I believe the
page says I have to use Internet Exploder 3.0 (or higher) or Netscape
Navigator 3.0 (or higher).

Oh, well... this is just the iceberg's peak.
Try to buy a car on that site and you'll receive a "sorry, you're using a
nerd browser", unless you're using IE.
I tested it with my Mozilla 1.5b and it was classified as "low end browser"
in the URL.
They call it "configurator"... I call it "how to lose potential customers".

This is what happens when de facto standards are blindly followed.
