Take a look and say what you thing...

I want one ... my car didnt even complete 1 year and there's a new one

any more Pictures ?

coming to think about it , its ugly !

the previous generation is alot much better !!

Not the best looking car by any means, dont like it at all :yuck: :yuck:

I think it needs lowered

Other than that, I quite like it

I still dont like it that much , where's the car interior !!! it looks so cheap ! cheaper than the current gen !

the exterior look is fine , but its just a face / back lift ,the rest is 100% typical

anyways here's the 1.8R version ( 1.8L with sport additions :S )

oh my god, fiat ruined the palio completely, this car looks hideous and i'm actually glad i bought mine before this new wanabe car

People

I have a Palio 2006/2007, and i hope to have money to buy this new PALIO in 2008 or 2009, the car is great when we look LIVE, by pictures is not so beautifull.

I and most of the teamPALIO (www.teampalio.com) fans don't like it. It looks very bad and ordinary. I don't understand what FIAT wanted to do. They tried to do a new grande palio. It does't have any palio soul.

Everybody hnows that Palio is not the same car around the world, in India we have Palio from de secound gen. and " Palio Stile" (Palio 3rd gen. here in Brazil), China happens the same, in South Africa we have a Palio mixed with 3rd gen but inside is a 1st gen.

Here in Brazil is the base for new FIAT compact cars around the world, just see FIAT Perla in china, is like the same Siena (albea) 3rd gen we have here in Brazil, we stil have de Palio 3dr gen, but jus with popular price and without the last tecnologis have regular Palio 3 gen. in the past or yhe Palio 4th gen heve now.

Thanks

Re: I have palio 1.3 brazilian

hey guys i have the 2006 1.8R palio (bought it in mexico) and it sucks it tottally dissapointed me, man that car is so slow i hate it but its not llike a can change it 3 months after i got it...lol anyways if you guys know any mods i can put in this car PM me it would help alot...

Without trying to sound clever, I think in Western Europe we are very lucky to have cars like the Panda, Grande Punto and Bravo but have to accept that in some parts of the world there isn't the same level of money available to spend on cars and while we have the luxury of buying ones we really want rather than just basic transport. This may be why cars such as the VW Beetle were made for so long in countries like Mexico. Just a thought though, it's possible that the 1.8 GM engine is the one we had in the 2nd generation Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Ascona in the early '80's. It was known as the Family 2 series of engines and was also found in a version of the Opel Manta. It put out 90 hp in the Cavalier/Ascona/Manta GTJ, but was capable of 115 bhp in the early Astra/Kadett GTE/GSi. The FIAT engine should be much better.
