Fiat and Alfa have just done very well in an automotive beauty contest run by the French weekly car magazine, Auto Plus...
Subcompacts: Fiat Grande Punto wins first place by a convincing margin over
the 207. Last place was the Nissan Micra, but you didn't need
Auto Plus to point that one out, did you?
Compacts: Alfa 147 is the winner here, just ahead of the Audi A3.
Family Cars: Alfa 159 by a very wide margin over the 407. The Fiat Croma
came in 7th in this lot.
People Carriers: Fiat Idea came in...9th but not last.
No Lancias were mentioned in this contest even if Lancia is "United Against Uglieness". No other Fiat Group cars were mentioned. The Citroen C8 placed 5th in People Carriers and it is a sister to the Fiat Ulysee and the Lancia Phaedra (plus the Peugeot 807), if that's any consolation.
