Still little more than a set of pen-strokes and a clay model but there is growing pressure (even within Fiat) to go forward with it.

The prototype is to be displayed at Geneva (and then doing the tour of the worlds major motor shows). A gentle push in the right direction and it might even make it to production.

Of course they should build it! Look at the lovely job they made of the Coupe and the Barchetta!

The Coupe took me some time to like it, but now I am very taken with the detail in its design. I think it was ahead of its time.

However, the Barchetta was right from the moment of its launch. It was classic, yet modern whilst achieving originality and without the need for retro styling.

This design is right.
Fiat should make it before people forget how well Fiat can make truely desireable and charasmatic cars.
(If you've ever driven an X19, you'll understand.)
