New Fiat Grande Punto Launched in Oz

Sun 25 Jun 2006 10:16:58 AM
Fiat cars are just about the re-launch into the Australian market with their new Grande Punto.

I really like the look of these (particularly the two door version). Nice looking car in the photos.

The 1.3 turbo desiel offers similar fuel economy (4.6Lt/100km) as a hybrid and still has reasonable performance (1-100km in about 11.5secs). Assuming it has great handling and a nice ride it's all good.

The top of the range is the 1.9 TDI two door "sport" with 5.8Lt/100km & 1-100km/9secs

I am looking forward to checking these out in real life in july.

More info available on www.fiatcars.com.au

Just a humorous aside.....

FIAT stands for "Fix It Again Tony"

That's the reputation from the late 60's living on strong.... I'm sure that extra 40 years has made all the difference.
