Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

Here's some more opinions from when the pics were first posted

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

Is there going to be a 3 door version?

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

According to a dutch newspaper there won't going to be a
3 door version...

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

What a shame there won't be a 3 door.

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

Oh good, another thread on this!

I keep threatening to merge all the threads, may be tempted even more now

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

yes merge all the threads just like fiat are merging all their cars. its not a bravo its a grande punto pie-eater edition. if you havent debadged your bravo already DO IT NOW! the name is about to be associated with a fat GP. i dont know who's making the decisions in italy but they must be over 65, fat and have loads of kids. certainly not the arrogant greasy haired prick who designed my beautiful mk1 bravo. that guy must have been fired before the stilo, what a big mistake.

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

Thats probably exactly what the strada owners thought when they introduced the bravo/a's!

Change is a good thing nothing to be afraid of! If things didnt change then we'd all be driving 3 box design cars with steam engines!!

I like it!

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

true, resistance to change in natural but you have to get on with it. i'm sure it'll grow on me by the time they replace it. then again i liked the bravo from new, and the mk1&2 puntos.

the strada is better than all of them, if they still made them i'd have one over any recent fiat. just look at them





what a beauty, its got style, aggression, flair, what more could you want.

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

A modern looking car?

Climate control?

Bigger wheels?

Many things change in car design due to people's want for nicer, newer, bigger, higher spec... Improved design?

Would you wear the 80's throwback clothing to go with it?

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

no the clothes and music were awful, but i like the money-power attitude of the 80's.

i dont want climate control, or anything electrical. i want a go-kart thats water proof. power steering and abs is for girls. fuel injection is a waste of time. twin carbs (water heated) are what i want. basic mechanical cars were great to drive (if you know how to drive) rarely break and are easy to fix. thats what i want, is that really so old fashioned? i'm not keen to see the day when a computer decides how my steering and braking will work (drive by wire) but its coming very soon. i wont buy one, just watch me. silly computerised junk, imagine how often you'll have problems when they double the complexity of car electronics, they cant even get it right now with basic feedback sysems. limp home mode is going to be the norm one day. especially if you own a fiat

Then why buy a bravo? ABS? PAS? ECU? AIR BAG? ELECTRIC WINDOWS? CENTRAL LOCKING (REOMTE?)? HEATERS?...

Why not buy a strada? just like the bravo they are no longer built?

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

if i could buy a 1998 strada with 60k i would, but they stopped making real cars some time ago so thats not possible. stradas will be high milage, rusty and very tired by now because they're all so old. its not the car thats the problem, just the age of them. i'm stuck with modern rubbish.

No choice??

Plenty of older 'real' cars on the road if you're an enthusiast.

Re: New Bravo (03-2007)

true, i plan to buy a 1985 series1 rs turbo as soon as possible, but my license wont be clean for another 2 years so it aint happening till then. then you'll see me broken down on the roadside every week and you can come and laugh at me. lol

I like 3 box design cars with steam engines, that's why I'm rebuilding my MK2 Cortina and dropping in a 16V V***hall twin cam from a Calibra!

160bhp standard, RWD and as lightweight as possible should equal some fun!
