It sure is hard to believe that the Fiat Panda has finished three-decades of existence as a 4×4 alongside the likes of giant SUVs and CUVs, still maintaining its cute Panda-ish face and tall boy looks. In any case, the Fiat Panda 4×4 Antartica edition was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
This may seem like just another video of an idiot trying to make a U-turn where he shouldn’t, but just keep watching this Italian man’s quest as he slowly transforms this quiet street into a commotion of epic proportions. You’ll be surprised at the unbelievable groups of people that show up!
Italian automaker Fiat, has revealed an all-electric version of the Fiat 500, dubbed the Fiat 500e, ahead of its debut at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show.
This here is a Fiat Bravo. We wouldn’t have given it a second look when we spotted it a month ago, except that it had all these weird wires taped onto the exterior. Indeed, it’s possibly a GCC-spec prototype of the 2013 model.
News is, Fiat’s latest hot hatch based on the 500, the Abarth 695 Maserati edition, will be showcased in Mille Miglia.
We’ve never been to an event before where we drove so many different cars at once that all the names did not fit in the title of a story. At the recent “Mopar Power Drive” media event at the Dubai Autodrome, we drove the 2012 editions of the — in one big breath — Chrysler 300C V8, Chrysler 300 V6, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Dodge Durango, Dodge Challenger V6, Dodge Charger V6, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Compass, and finally, to throw a curve-ball, the Fiat 500.
The Fiat 500 is a supermini that marked the return of the marque into the Middle East after nearly a decade. While the Fiat 500 did not seem to get enough attention in this part of the world, out in the European nations, it seems to be a hit. That probably is the reason why Fiat has decided to stretch the 500 to make a larger version, calling it the Fiat 500L – the ‘L’ stands for “Large”.
The Fiat Panda, a car that has been around in the Europe for several years now but never made it to the Middle East, is going to be reintroduced with a new face, marking the beginning of Panda’s third generation.
Abarth, Fiat-owned tuners and racing-car makers, has introduced an upgrade kit dubbed as Esseesse, for their existing Punto Evo, an already-souped up version of the original Punto hatchback.
Few companies offer media drives of their all-new models in the UAE itself before they become available to consumers. And we don’t get invited to most of them because they are afraid of us. However, Fiat is making a comeback in the region, and they did invite us to their 2010 Bravo unveiling in Abu Dhabi, complete with a fleet of European-spec test cars for the event.
