£120 for Squirrile this year
£35 for my 500 Makes the big gulf in fuel economy between my car and yours a bit more tolerable

FIAT have a tractor division don't they? Probably out of that parts bin...
Not quite. Looks like the panel bearing the graphics is completely flat and 'simpler' in its design (ie cheaper). Older versions had raised edges round the dials, or at least some fancy shading in the graphics to make it look that way. New pointers look cheaper too.
They used to, but not any more I don't think

Let me escort you to Pedant's Corner...So we're on about clocks/dials and not the dash
Let me escort you to Pedant's Corner...
Given that the only part of the complete 'driver control visual experience' that appears to have been altered in the latest Pandas is the graphics around the dials, that'll be a 'yes' then.
Once settled nicely into Pedant's Corner, maybe a dictionary can be consulted: can I suggest http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dashboard as a starting point, from which I quote:
dash⋅board
/ˈdæʃˌbɔrd, -ˌboʊrd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [dash-bawrd, -bohrd] Show IPA–noun
1. (in an automobile or similar vehicle) a panel beneath the front window having various gauges and accessories for the use of the driver; instrument panel.
(All in jest, you understand...)
went to pre-check the paper work on my 1.1 Eco Active the other day, this is the grill thats on it ! (I'm told mine is a Series 2)

that's a funky grill...isn't there one that has lots of little circular holes in it...that's my favourite, really functional and not 'showy'
Now, there's a different question! Maybe that's why that bit appears not to have been changed...So WTF is the rest of (what I call the dash), called then
Well they've got a 95bhp one coming for the 500 so it could be the 95bhp oneTook the good lady in to have a look at the new Panda, and gainde some info from the sales person.
He said the 1.2 panda ECO engine is just the 500's 1.2 engine. The wing mirror size was increased due to complaints about the old ones being too small.
As my wife is thinking of going back to a Panda, but the M/jet,he told us to hang on a little while as they had heard that next year the Eleganza will be coming with the option of the M/jet engine, but not the 70bhp its the 75bhp. I think i'll wait a while.

the grille in my photo has little tiny holes all the way across it. Is there a differen't one to this ?

The 75bhp M/jet will likely have a particulate filter. Personally I'd go for the 70bhp one.heard that next year the Eleganza will be coming with the option of the M/jet engine, but not the 70bhp its the 75bhp. I think i'll wait a while.
