I am sure Fiat considered marketing it here in the UK but the simple fact is that unlike the rest of Europe very very few people in the UK actually want to buy small saloons/estates. Ask yourself a question...when did you last see one from ANY manufacturer? Fiat will have considered the poor demand for the Linea and come to the conclusion that after making a RHD varient for the UK market and after considering the costs involved, stocking spares, providing dealer info and support etc etc it simply wasnt worth their while to bring it over. They will have come to the conclusion their resources are better used selling and supporting cars they know WILL sell in large numbers like the GP and 500.

The GP was a big seller intially & is still selling reasonably well, 1 of the failings of the GP (as well as the 500, Panda & Stilo) is the boot size. Its all very well offering a bunch of small funky city cars, but what happens when your young funky customers grow up & have a family?
RHD variants are already been made by Fiat India and apparently selling very well out there.
Hey PankazHello Folks,
First post here. I too own a Linea Emotion Pk Petrol Flamenco Red!
Will be completing a month with it this 25th.

Yes, there is definitely a gap in the market for an estate/saloon/saloon-wagon vehicle from Fiat.
