The car in fact the only car which if we turn the pages of history which has stood and competed against the Volkswagen Beetle is this, the Fiat 500. It is their long sustained history and affection towards them which in today’s world lets companies fetch a premium for providing you with a car that is an important part of the world history, if you may. The Fiat 500 in today’s time is perceived as [...]

The 2012 Fiat Panda was snapped while being assembled at the factory in Pomigliano d’Arco. The Panda supermini will be marginally longer than the current Panda but will stay well clear of the four meter mark. The design inspiration is very evident – it’s from the Novo Uno that was introduced in South America last year. The roofline, doors and the flared wheel arches are reminiscent [...]

Fiat’s turnaround car is no doubt an Italian supermodel. Yes, taking care of her is essential to maintain her beauty. If you are a Punto owner who loves to clean its interiors and engine bay, we suggest you let the service station take care of her. Please don’t build a bath tub and ask her to pretend as a beauty soap commercial actor in it. It won’t work as this owner found out. Source [...]

But it seems that the Auto majors want to take a step forward and convert everything to green. Case in point, Fiat has developed the world’s first hydrogen-powered tractor. The pilot [...]

To be honest, I don’t like Gold, Chorme or Silver plating on cars. There are so many of them running on city streets of the Gulf countries and they are just too “I have got shiploads of money” toys. But even I was amazed when I saw this Fiat 500 (especially the white one) with 24 CT gold trimmings made by Fenice Milano. The company’s tagline line says, ‘A masterpiece is made by details’ [...]

The bosses of Fiat have decided to drop the development of the new Topolino and to only focus on Fiat Seicento which will be a low cost car positioned beneath the upcoming Panda and Fiat 500. The Fiat management thought that the Topolino was not right for the current economic conditions and the Seicento made more sense right now. 2012 Fiat Seicento Powertrain The Seicento is expected to be powered [...]
