ADVANCE INFORMATION: NEW FIAT CROMA

Fiat's New Croma range will make its first public appearance at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show, March 3rd -13th, 2005. It will go on sale in Italy in June.

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built at Fiat Auto's Cassino factory, the name recalls the famous and successful medium-large saloon that was on sale between 1985 and 1994 with over 450,000 sold during that period.

The dimensions of New Croma- 4.75m (l.) x 1.77m (w.) x 1.60m (h.) with a wheelbase of 2.70m- are an indication of the extraordinary interior space available in this new range.

The New Croma range will offer buyers the choice of three trim levels, five engines and either manual or automatic gearboxes. The engine options will comprise both petrol and turbo diesel units: 1.8 16v 130 bhp and 2.2.16v 150 bhp (petrol), 1.9 16v Multijet 120 bhp, 1.9 16v Multijet 150 bhp and a totally new 2.4 Multijet 200 bhp.

thats ok, So is the Vectra. All three cars use the Epsilon platform

Is that the only body style its going to be available in? No 3 box saloon?

looks it
I thought that was a multiwagon, but realised it was too short in the boot area to be that.
was hoping for a more streamlined rear hatch style as well, Ford are going back in that direction with the new focus, but I was more expecting something like a sweeping back like on the mondeo hatch
