Unhappy Xbox edition stilo

I just got what looks like an xbox game through the post but its actually an advertisment for the new xbox edition stilo and punto both in 3 door.

The stilo comes with the 1.6 only in it and has the abarth side skirts, air con, 17" alloys, cd/ mp3 player and sub, metal food pedals and black mats inside the car with the "xbox" logo stiched into them and theres a xbox logo above the slot for the cd player. Oh yeah and the car only comes in black and is a limited edition.

The punto comes with pretty much the same extras but only has the 1.2 16v engine in it and has the active sports body kit on it and only comes in black as well.

Has anyone got one of these in the post?
Personally Fiat sticking a xbox badge on a car wont make it sell anymore i dont think!

One arrived today,

There really should have been a DVD in that box rather then a small leaflet.

Thumbs down Re: Xbox edition stilo

Haven't got anything in the post although I saw them on the website the other day - I have to agree the Xbox branding on the car is very very naff who wants to drive a car that has the name of some video console that will be replaced itself in about a year?? Sure it's ok for Fiat to give away a free XBOX with each of these special editions but that's where the XBOX link should have ended....IMO. The XBOX is superb but I know where mine's staying.....under the telly.

Re: Xbox edition stilo

No i didnt sign up for it.

I think mine came from the dealer i bought my car from in Farnham, as he spelt my surname wrong when i bought the car and my surname was spelt the same wrong way when this thing came in the post.

Re: Xbox edition stilo

Yep I got one too. Was just checking the forum to see if there was a thread on the subject.

What a magnificently duff idea.

Initially dissapointed that I didn't have an Xbox as it looked like a crazy demo for a FIAT racing game (I know, I know).

Should have been a CD rom or DVD inside.

Before I read the sales blurb I thought they had fused an Xbox with screen into the dash or something. Now that would have been cool. I do wedding videos for a living and there's a fair bit of dead time in between proceedings and that would have been great. Sadly no. Who on earth would want Xbox logos blazed across the inside of their car. Sad.

Re: Xbox edition stilo

The Xbox Stilo looks absolutely crap in my opinion..............has anyone seen the Schumacher edition? That is very nice indeed

Re: Xbox edition stilo

Can anybody imagine what it will be like in ten years time? Imagine having a car saying "Megadrive" on
