I think we kind of guessed what follows, but being seriously interested in buying a Bravo, to potentially replace my Croma at some point in time in the future I just had to ask Fiat UK direct availability and new factory order status.
Below is their response so at least all you/us Bravo nutters know where we stand.
--------------------------------
Thank you for contacting Fiat Customer Information centre and your interest in our products.
Following your enquiry we can confirm that we are currently in the process of updating the Bravo Range and as such, it is not currently possible to submit fresh orders to the factory.
We are currently unable to confirm the full details of the new range, however some of the current versions will no longer be available for order. There are a small number of vehicles available in a variety of different versions and colours which may suit your requirements and will be available for any dealership.
--------------------------------
A suggestion I have heard is that the new Bravo will be an Alfa Guiletta based model/variation. Time will tell.
My keen interest in the Bravo / replacement is that I want a car that can tow at least 1000kgs. The Bravo can do 1300kg. The Doblo as well. The Fiat 500L is currently limited to 1000kgs. When the Bravo drops off the map then there is not current Fiat model with lugging power other than a Doblo or Ducato.
Timing wise it looks like my Croma 2005 is going to have to perform the duties for another year or two.
Anyway I hope the Bravo availability info is of value to anybody thinking of buying new. This end of model status could mean that those interested in a new Bravo could secure a cracking deal on price.
