The front end looks like a Maserati! The shape of the grill...

look at the shut lines on the boot lid!

hope they wont be like that by the time its launched

well if it looks anything like that then i wont be buying one...


that mini front window is horrible and the back looks awful. fiat need to make a mini stilo thatad be gorgeous

now wheres the trepiuno

according to channel 4 cars the trepiuno is going into production in 2006 and its gona have some decent engines for all the size of it and the wheels look at least 16" as standard so the punto better be able to match up to it.

about trepiuno:

" Replacing the current Seicento, Fiat's retro-look baby on shortened Panda platform will come with a choice of 1.2 (80bhp), 1.4 (95bhp) and 1.6 (120bhp) petrol engines or 1.9 JTD diesels (70, 90 or 115bhp) - aiming at both budget car buyers and the MINI's market. 180bhp Abarth models with turbo 1.6 also rumoured. Reports of a £5000 price tag may be rather optimistic; £7000 for all the essentials more likely. " quoted from channel 4.

I like it. I think its by far more stylish than any of their past attempts. I'd consider one if it had the right powerplants. If the 1.6 turbo GM engine is in the line up it could be a very quick car.

As to modifying it i think you could make it look very nice, companies like Lester, Cadamuro and Merkur will make some very tasteful kits for it.

I dont like it alot to be honest, I am not to keen on the MK2.5 either with the bug eye lights, I liked the MK2 though with the agressive lights looks much better


But also all of them pictures are the 5 door model must remember the 3 Door always looks better!
