The back end is too simalar to the astras and the curves on the side are very micra-ish IMO.

I think it's great generally but I always hate that gaping mouth, same as what they've done to the poor punto and all sorts of other manufacturers are at it too now.

I will have to see it in the flesh before making up my mind, I was thinking exactly as said above, Astra rear, Micra shape on the side. Will see though in the flesh.

ah well... its on a lenghtened astra platform so that will be the astra similarity.
looks like fiat are dumping that new compact platform for the astra platform acording to auto express.
although just-auto.com (cant read the full story as its a subcription site) claim its using the existing stilo compact platform for the new version of the stilo. But I guess we will wait and see.
Well I liked the look of the current stilo, but the new one, if true, wow, the design flair is back again
shame about the pug 307 quarter window though

Smart that, I got my copy of Auto Express in this mornings post, haven't had a chance to open it yet though, I'll read it tonight.
Anyone else think it has a look of the Seat Altea about it?

I like the Altea, I think its a good looking car, but you know what spoils it?
The fact its classed as an MPV :yuck:
So if the Stilo takes cues from the Styling, but is still available as a 3door then ace

Re: I like it!
Yep Altea all the way ...but the Altea is a nice looking car, so could be worse. I must admit I'm a little dissapointed. Although any reservations would be blown away IF the Abarth does get the 250BHP 3.2V6 - I managed to read that was being considered as an engine off the Scan of the original article.
BUT we all know Fiat are great at promising flagship engines and us in the UK never getting them. I don't think in hot-hatch terms they can afford to make that mistake again....hopefully.

Re: I like it!
Don't put too much faith in what that magazine says. I doubt it will use a GM platform. I like the looks though I reckon it will be dumbed down before the production model gets here.

Re: I like it!
as I mentioned earlier, another site claims its going to be based upon the current stilo's Compact platform. Cant see them wasting a platform they spent alot developing and is, in reality only a couple of years older then the new astra platform (and isnt the current astra based upon the previous astra's platform?)
I have the feeling that this copy of auto express had gone to press before GM devorced from Fiat.
