Just spent two weeks driving around Sicily, including Palermo, Syracuse and most of the autostradas. Sad to say I only saw 3 final spec Stilos in all that time: Two 5 door saloons and one multiwagon. Earlier versions were scarce, mostly 5 door saloons and multiwagons. 3 door saloons extremely rare. New Bravo seems to be selling a bit better but colours are dim, mostly variations on metallic mud. Grande Punto rules in Sicily at least. The conclusion has to be that the Stilo was a (undeserved) disaster in the home market. I don't understand why, because my two year old final spec 5 door 1.4 has been totally reliable and a pleasure to drive.

General Stilo count in Sicily
You get the ferry or was this in a hire car?
Did you notice almost every car has a dent of some description (including 'status' cars). I got the impression nobody bothers to get minor bumps fixed.
Mind you, did get the
from fellow drivers when going down a one-way street the wrong way - but also got the horn when stopping on an amber light
That might explain it :chin:

Hire car: Lancia Ypsilon which I think is a tarted up Panda. Still, it went well for a 1.2 8 valve. Yes, all cars had some marks on them and driving in Palermo was nigh on impossible - no lights or road markings at some junctions and cars parked everywhere, even on zebra crossings.
At risk of going off topic ..... No one gets dents fixed as they only have 3rd party insurance because fully comp equivalent costs a fortune over there. (I guess it would do if folks claim for all those dents.)
