In case you haven't already heart FIAT has redesigned the front and rear bumpers on Abarth versions.

They do look nice, but what is it with Fiat? Why can't they leave things alone? They're changing their cars every bloody five minutes! [!]

I think that FIAT was trying to get over their money problem when they introduced Stilo.
After selling enough cars they said "lets make some money now" and they started removing a lot of stuff that were standard in the first productions. After doing that they saw that the sales were not changing in a way and they decided to change the looks of the car with the minimum cost and this is the result.
I think this is logical for a company with so much depdts [V]
Lets hope they don't present the stilo II in the next motor show

I think you are right that a company should identify areas where it can make changes in order to increase turnover/profit, but the side-effect is you confuse and alienate consumers.
