Hey as a kid I always wanted to be able to play the didgerydoo and table tennis racket!


Wasn't too bothered about being able to play the wheelie bin or the 250 litre barrel tho.

The Press conference is over.
Let battle commence in Turin as
8000 hung-over officals and members of the press and other fine upstanding pillar(k)s of the automotive community all rush out of the conference to get to drive the 180 test vehicles available.
(No wonder they've turned the cameras off....let the bun fight commence...as they all push and shove their way out to the car-park.....CHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGEEEEEE!

Review in Motoring section of Daily Telegraph today Sat 07.07.07:

"...from next year all the cars will be fitted with a stop/go system that turns off the engine after a few seconds idling"

I've had loads of cars do that​

I-motori article says there was almost a fight for the test cars at the Turin launch! Motoring hacks seem to like the 1.3diesel better than the 2 petrols?

Just a normal Fiat launch then!

Optional 5 year warranty according to The Times article?

Even the guy from The Independent liked it.

According to The Independent

0-62 in 120.5sec

The guy from The Independent was obviously still recovering from the launch party at the time!:dead:

I thought the optional "300,000 mile warranty" was a misprint too when I first read it, but I think its true.
