Update 12/9/09: Fiat has now confirmed that the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is real and will be at the Frankfurt Motor Show. We’ve updated with details and a full gallery of pictures of […]
Fiat Punto Evo revealed
Fiat has decided to play around with the Grande Punto, and has come up with a revised version – the Fiat Punto Evo – which will show at Frankfurt next month. I’m not sure that a facelift – which is essentially what this is – calls for a new name, but Fiat say the Evo […]
Fiat 500C Abarth coming?
Fiat are on a real roll with the little 500. The hard-top version has been a cracking success, and the Convertible 500 – The Fiat 500C – is taking orders left, right and centre. Fiat seem to be doing everything right in terms of marketing; they even got the celeb angle right by using pictures […]
Fiat 500C – Elle’s in love
Fiat has worked hard on PR for the Fiat 500. We’ve had loads to write about, from the Fiat 500 getting eco:drive – as promoted by Jodie Kidd – to the Fiat 500s donated for charity – as promoted by Damian Hirst and Peter Blake. And away from the celeb endorsements Fiat has been working […]
Fiat Qubo gets eco:Drive
The Fiat Qubo is an odd looking creation. Based on the Fiorino panel-van its a mini MPV in the style of the Renault Kango.

Fiat 500C Convertible – launched in the UK today
The sun is shining for Fiat at the moment as it rampages around the world’s beleaguered car companies, but it’s also shining today as Fiat officially launches the Fiat 500C Convertible on to the UK market in the middle of the best spell of weather we’ve had in the UK since 1732 (not quite – […]
Fiat 500 – kind to animals and the environment!
We’ve moved on a long way from car adverts that centre around cars driving through fire, with a Stadium Rock soundtrack to get the adrenalin and testosterone flowing. On the whole, they are more considered and/or more humorous (although some – particularly in the States – are still dire). A good example of the current […]
Alfa Romeo going to the USA
With the dust now starting to settle on Chrysler’s move in to the hands of Fiat, more detail is starting to emerge on exactly what the US will get in the way of Fiat products. We already know that the only Fiat making its way to the US is the Fiat 500, but it now […]
