It is quite cool ...and if you check out the website, there is likely to be a vast amount of options available. Fiat have been requesting people to submit their ideas on how to personalize this car. | | | | | GCZ's High Court

I have to say that I'm impressed with Fiat's comeback from the brink. They pulled a fast on on poor, old, dumb GM that resulted in GM having to give them billions of dollars and now they're coming out with one car after another. Most of which are very desirable. Now once they get Alfa back to the U.S. with even decent quality they'll be really doing something!

ateekt, I find your posts to be non-contributory, uninformed and just plain uncool.
Leave out the bold formatting of your posts too... it just draws more attention to your low-value input.
People on this board are highly informed, well connected with the motoring industry from professionals, semi-professionals to hard-core amateur enthusiasts.
Fiat is by no means the greatest car brand in the world and you're entitled to put across your opinion provided you can substantiate that with a bit more insight. | | | | | GCZ's High Court

The Fiat 500 is another good move for a resurgent Fiat. In recent months they've surprised on numerous occasions by launching models that revive the brand's erstwhile image as a maker of superb, characterful and fun-to-drive small cars. The Panda is a tremendously realistic and well executed city car and the Panda 100HP shows that cheap doesn't necessarily have to exclude fun.
The Grande Punto sets itself apart from its competitors by virtue of its lovely styling infused with Italian flair. The new Bravo simply builds on this new brand identity.
The Fiat 500 is an ideal model to proclaim that Fiat has every ability to be the maker of seriously cool small cars it once was.
I love the new FIAT badge too... | | | | | Fanatic

What I tried to say was, nice car & build quality & looks just don't sound like Fiat  ..!

Fiat has a very promising lineup in the coming few years & quite frankly I find their latest releases quite desirable. This is the first time I really would like to own their cars & I find them "cool" in its own way. First the Grande punto which was like an extreme makeover and now this. I really would like Fiat to heal from the crappy decade it had gone through. It is a historical manufacturer and I believe it has many to offer.
BTW the Punto achieved well in the latest EuroNcap tests, Five Stars  | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
