New Bravo to Replace Stilo??? NOT 56K Friendly

I wouldn't get too flustered guys, This is not a real photo.

You can see they have just done some fancy computer editing to the Grande Punto.

I know it looks real, but it is amazing what you can do with today's technology.

Personally, I think this image is way off.

I wouldn't be too hasty to write this off as a Photoshopped trick. It bears a lot of resemblance to many pictures of the Stilo replacement. Looks to me like they might be following a theme with the Grande Punto, as FIAT have done in the past. The Uno and Tipo shared a lot of design cues, as did the 128 and 131/2.

Personally, I think it's as close as you'll get to FIAT's current design for the new car, and I for one applaud the decision to re-introduce the Bravo name. Now let's see if they can produce an HGT equivalent without the inherent servicing issues & costs I'd personally settle for a 4 Cylinder (poss. with turbo) but with good tuning. 5 pots are nice (esp. the sound, which is what I miss most about mine) but there are many well engineered 4 pots that would pi55 all over it unfortunately.

Saying that, the new Focus ST with the Volvo 5 pot is pretty stunning. Trust those darned Swedes to get it right
