If the basic outline stays the same it will be fine, detail styling changes and an interior revamp for Europe will do the job - let's be honest, the Bravo is now pretty outdated in comparison with many of its rivals and at 7 years old it must be the oldest car in its segment.
Anything will be nice...... we do have 58 plate Dynamic Eco which drives less well than our previous 156 !
Based as it is on a Giulietta / Dart it should be pretty decent once Europeanised.

theres your problem right there
Thing with the Mk2 Bravo was it was ahead of its time with styling and looked amazing. Now everyone has moved on except Fiat. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut the bravo out completely in UK/Europe and stuck with the smaller cars/MPV's and Vans.

Quite likely under the current management's line of thinking - however there still remains a market for a conservative, medium hatch throughout Europe if the Golf is anything to go by.
Expect a me too quasi crossover as a replacement....
I'm not sure weather well get it over here anyway? We weren't treated to the fiat Freemont and going on what I've read they don't seem in a hurry to bring the fiat otter over here, which is ashame as like people are saying the bravo is getting on abit and could do with a replacement - even if I do really like the bravo

If they made the Stilo still for UK market new with Diesel / automatic gearbox mix like they did in the Bravo I'd be straight out to get one. I do like my Bravo, but still secretly lust after and love my old Stilo.
There's plenty still out there
go on........ There's room for another one
Only auto Stilos in UK are the 2.4 abarths, and I don't particularly care for one when I'm doing 20k miles a year. Fuel cost is bad enough in an economical diesel lol.
100% agree on what you said. I mean Fiat are not refreshing the bravo, punto, or even the 500. Whats puzzling is that they already got the necessary technology to make some new models (Multi-air engines, TCT gearbox, revised platform, uConnect infotainment system). The problem is that these developments have already been implemented; In the Alfa. If fiat release a bravo successor its highly unlikely to offer anything new that the giulietta doesn't.
The problem with Italian car makers is that you just cant guess what they'll do next. I doubt however that they'll bring this car to Europe, just like they never brought in the dart, because its quite simply a giulietta in a different shell.
This doesn't look like a new platform at all - it just looks like another Bravo variation like the Lancia Delta (OK Chrysler if you insist in UK)
Don't like this at all. Looked great at first but then after a while I lost interest.
Stick a Hyundai badge on it and let someone else buy it cause I do really think it's awful.
Let hope for some proper Italian styling.

I'd drive this. But I don't like the massive logo

Not a fan of the huge logo either but it's something a bit different I suppose. Not a fan of that strange lip between the grill and the bonnet either
Lets leave for the Chinese market and their unusual tastes.The one thing the current Bravo has is style and very few reviews have disputed this.When I first saw the new Bravo,as it was then,at a Brooklands Auto Italia day I thought that is one good looking car...
Dont think I would be saying the same about this one.

that's pretty ugly... I wouldn't buy it for half the price of a current bravo.
According to that blog in the corner of the picture. It's a facelift for the Brazil market. Remember the bravo s relatively new in South America so a facelift like this makes sense. People looking up bravos find a new model facelift on the way. They get tempted into buying one
I do like the indicators on the wing morrors. I also like the grills. Those lights are horrid though. Too Audi. But cheaper. Also the chrome strip on the boot can be purchased from fiat I believe. I'm sure I've seen them.

It reminds me more of a Hyundai i30 than of an Audi or a VW. Especially the lights are like the ones on Hyundai. Anyway I do like the lights, although I think that this would not sell as it needs a makeover to sell in Europe. I do like the current two I have
