Not at all. All 3 that you mention are still Grande Puntos, just different variants. Its not as simple as there being just 3 real types. You don't mention the diesels? You wouldn't tell a Panda 4x4 Sisley owner that their car isn't a more interesting variant than any other Panda, would you?

Not sure what your point is here?

I said there are 3 different or more specific variants of the Grande, to which you replied they are Grande's, just different variants..... that is exactly what i said. I never said they weren't Grande's just like i never said Cinq Sportings weren't Cinqs, only a more specific and defined variant of one.

For Cinq

1. Cinquecento- all trim levels of of, 899 cc engine etc etc.
2. Cinquecento Sporting, including Abarth editions/options.

For Sei

1. Seicento- All trim levels of
2. Seicento Sporting- All trim levels of inluding Abarth and Schumacher.

Of course i don't mention the diesels, because a GP multijet sporting is still a sporting, an eleganza multijet is still a normal diesel grande, the engine alone makes no difference, just like the trim alone makes no difference, a multitude of changes however does. That is what defines a variant from just a trim level.

And now we're onto classic Panda 4x4's? haha,

The Sisley is a trim variant/edition of the normal 4x4, which is a specific model in it's own right. It may or may not be more "interesting" as a result, but it's irrelevant, it's still a trim level/special edition of a "normal" 4x4.

Using your logic, a 4x4 Panda is exactly the same as a 2wd panda because it's still a panda.

In much the same way as the Grande, we have

1. Classic Panda - all trim levels of
2. Classic Panda 4x4- all trim levels of

In the terms of this thread, the Schumacher is pretty much a Stilo Abarth, however it was re-engineered by prodrive and fitted with enough alterations to be deemed different to "normal" Abarth Stilos.

Basically, a Cinquecento is a Cinquecento. The sporting is the more interesting variant. A mk1 Punto is a mk1 Punto. The ELX, Sporting and GT being the more interesting variants. A mk2 Punto is a mk2 Punto, with the HLX, HGT, Sporting and Eleganza being the more interesting variants. A Grande Punto is a Grande Punto, with the Eleganza, Sporting and Abarth being the rarer, more interesting variants.

But the point is the Sporting IS NOT A TRIM LEVEL of Cinquecento.

Eleganza on a GP is!, just like ELX is on a Mk1 Punto.

1, Mk1- Trim levels of
2. Mk1 Sporting
3. Mk1 Cabrio
4. Mk1 Gt.

I should add though, that i actually agree with you on the HGT mk2, that is basically just a mk2 sporting with a different engine ;)

Guys guys, relax!

We can't add every version of every car, so we're just going for the interesting ones for now .. :)

Ah but the Grande Punto Eleganza IS INTERESTING apparently ;)

It's all in good humoured debate about what makes a car qualify as standing out (enough) from the other models in a range (y):)

But back on topic from now on :p

It is interesting, lol! They're rare, and a million times better than a fiesta titanium, lol!
 
they have a weak bottom end on the stilo ones, a lot never lived past 60k

Nothing wrong with their bottom ends - coupe tuners were installing turbo charged 2.4's with 500 bhp on standard cranks.

The 2.4 five pot was and still is a mighty fine engine and sounded glorious and coupled to a 5 speed manual meant gearbox issues were few and far between..... Even if they did like to drink their oil more than it should've.

As a car it was'nt a great one but It's "rare as hens teeth" body kit, one off red colour scheme and 200 club status means that in my opinion the Schumacher gets a big fat sub-zero from me (y).
