Styling Why are the seat colour in these vehicles so goddamn ugly?
They're not my cuppa tea to be honest - and the pre-2007 cars with the light grey plastic are even less pleasing to my eye.
However - look at the late Panda Dynamics which have dark/grey/black or obviously the 100hp.
Mine has the dark grey/black seats and plastic, goes well with the red exterior 
I quite like the interior in our Panda. It's a later model (2009); with the grey and blue upholstery with blue squares on. Suits the car rather nicely....
Only got a tiny photo of it, though, from the original ad....

I Like the grey... it is great, black is the best, there is a black with a small herring bone pattern on... I love that one, current one is blue, not overly keen, going to a real genuine car upholsery specialist tomorrow to have a small tear repaired (invisible mending) going to ask how much for a complete black in the pattern I described, labour is really cheap here...

Fiat have a history of whacky coloured seats. A relative of mine had a green bravo that had red seats, disgusting colour combo! To be honest if they hadn't put nice seats in the 100hp I wouldn't have bothered buying one. Seen some 169s about with rancid interiors! The worst probably was a lemon coloured panda with bright turqoisey seats and light grey dash. Made me feel sick!!
Presumably FIAT Centre Stile................which is of course an anagram of Not Fair Testicle which may explain why they look like they do.
surely it's down to who ordered the car in that colour combo
YES - I've got a blue 2004 1.1 active with the blue "raindrop/Splodge" material,
lousy for grubby marks.. however it's VERY wear resistant AND much better than the YELLOW lots of people appear to have opted for :yuck:
if you wanna see how bad it COULD be.., look at the used Ypsillon's up for sale.. they appear to be really bad for "wrong-colour" calamities,
TBH looking back.. my old blue Regata, had a blue plasitc dash ..worked o.k...!! because it wasn't Japanese :devil:

Oh don't! I had to walk past an Ypsilon at the local Fiat/Suzuki dealer when getting some parts for my panda. In metallic purple with a satin black bonnet, roof and tailgate. Horrid!!
I did order mine with the blue seats, but it arrived with the yellow ones instead. The dealer offered to swap them with another car's seats but I had to point out that they would have to order another with the sliding rear seat to do that. I instead opted for money towards seat covers. I got ones custom made instead. They look a hundred times better than the originals!
Business as usual at the FIAT interiour design department.
Have you ever seen an Uno Mambo?
And why did they make most Uno dashes brown?
It's been going on for years

you have to bear in mind that the majority of FIATS are sold within a few hours drive of the Med.
peope who live around THOSE shores , have different styles (and climate)
I'm a person who would pay MORE for a car WITHOUT
leather and "wood-inlay"
and I've had 27 FIATs and two non-fiats in the last 25 years,
as a USED market buyer, I buy what I like the look of,
that's generally a well-built and keenly priced supermini for @ 12K a year,
something FIAT excel at..
the check interiors of the uno / panda era were very good, in my eyes..!!:devil:

I always thought my old Panda was quite garish, bright red on the outside and bright blue on the inside! You soon forgot about it when driving though. I wasn't too keen on the yellow.
My current one is a lot easier on the eye, it's like the pic homeward posted but I'm sure the colours are the other way round (can't remember). I actually preferred the earlier lighter grey dash.
