These images show Fiats forthcoming new entry into a segment of the market they have not competed in since the Croma was discontinued. The car has been known as the New Large with a production name still to decided upon.

This car has been a long time coming with a previous design being binned by Fiat chiefs who demended that the designers start again with a clean sheet of paper. Fiat initially planned a replacement much sooner, but a lack of funds put paid to that. The New Large has been designed by Italdesign-Giugiaro and will use a GM platform, little more is known about it at this stage.

I like it

Wasn't the merea the same range though?

No, one level down. Sure the Marea is just a Brava with a boot.

New Large had better just be a development name...

It is. No idea what it will eventually be called.

theres something not right with them doors IMO

hope it comes as a saloon as well

awful, looks japanese, wont sell.

There is a proportion error somewhere. It´s like striking an angry B on a guitar when trying an A. Is it the narrow ass? Or the door heights??? I really don´t see the fault, but it´s there somewhere.

The latest pic direct from italiaspeed

Dont think the rear end is right, or is the roof droping too much towards the back

When i look at that picture i just think Lexus. I agree with nouvapanda, looks far too japanesy

Having noticed they are making a 5 door hatch (odd in the large car market of saloons) i'll be interested to see how that looks.
But I do see alot of stilo in that car, in the door designs, the front wing panels before reaching the lights, oh and the grill, which I guess is the fiat face now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Fiat desperately needs a new Mondeo class car combined with a decent ad campaign and if this isn't one then why not? The Stilo is supposed to be focus class and it comes in estate version so what is this supposed to be if not mondeo class?

I've seen the pics before on the forum but I don't like it much especially the rear lights although the silver pic makes it look a lot better.

It is Mondeo class. At least I think it is...

I agree it looks Japanese, but it's hard to tell from a couple of grainy pictures.

Sadly I remembered what it looks just like, the latest model Toyota Avensis estate....





In some pictures you can barely tell a difference! Feel free to disagree

Don't all estates look alike though?

Not so much as I think those share looks. I would post more pictures of other estates which look different but it wouldn't really prove much.

I still don't think it will sell (I also think you agree with me Steve!)

From those two pics I think it looks awful but gonna wait for better pics to comment properly. The back looks slab sided :yuck:

This is a momentous occasion. I agree with Paul...

It won't sell.
