I'd like a new X1/9 please. Brilliant packaging and excellent handling. I think the market's ripe for it at the moment.

That or a new Lancia Montecarlo. Since the demise of the Toyota MR2 Mk II, we haven't had a proper 'baby Ferrari' from anyone.

They have done well here. The Grande Punto floorpan was developed by GM/Daewoo in South Korea and is shared (albeit in an ever so slightlyshorter format) by the new Vauxhall Corsa.

I'm not sure that's entirely true.

Apologies, I have checked it out and although they are the same floorpan and development (both based on the GM Gamma platform), it was initially developed in Europe as you said (by GM and Fiat). It's now been handed over to GM Daewoo in South Korea for further development and possible production over there (Fiats, Vauxhall/Opels or Daewoos I don't know).

been driving fiats for the last 7 years (a multipla and two doblos) fantastic cars and when comparing the price against f*rds and r*naults etc blindingly good value for money and reliable. 100k+ in each with no major probs

EVO magazine have fallen in love with the Punto 100hp in their latest issue. Its on the cover and in 2 of the main features and they rate it very highly. Praise indeed!

Fiat is a brand I've never really given much attention to, mainly because of its reputation of poor build and unreliability but its a reputation they seem to be shedding fast!

I think you mean the PANDA 100hp.....
