General Say hello to the new Bravo
a few articles i read today looked at this car being a chinese market car initially. cant see it selling all that well to be honest, saloon varients of hatchbacks havent in recent years, so much so hatch is the new mid-saloon.
as for high market saloons, like beemers etc, fiat wont release anything like this because they make alfas. only BL would do this (triumph/rover)

noticed in a few countries, like turkey, they have the Renault Megane in saloon format as the norm. either saloon or the scenic shape.
its not something that sells well over here. do ford still carry the uk focus in saloon over here? go to america, 90% of focus i saw were saloon variants

It does say that a 5 door hatchback version of the pictured car is likely to be used as the Bravo replacement, as apposed to the saloon version. I'm pretty sure the saloon will be produced for foreign markets where saloons are preferred, e.g. the US, China and eastern europe.
Edit - The Focus saloon was sold up until the new Focus that has recently come out, however they could only be specified in Ghia or Titanium trim (i.e. Top Spec). Apparently, their only doing the new Focus as a 5 door hatch for the UK.

Looked at one of these at the BTCC the other day. Look great from the outside, inside is awful.
Is this not a Linea replacement?
the inside is dreadful, my bravo felt like it had more beans, it was thirstier and the road tax was almost double.
thanks christ it was borrowed

Can't imagine Fiat being in a blinding rush to bring that to the UK, if they do at all. I don't think the side profile looks bad at all, though the front is dull & the rear not at all European looking. The name ain't bad though.
Sitting halfway between Focus salloon & Mondeo territory could be another stumbling block in the UK *thinks Marea sales figures*. The UK doesn't 'do' big Fiats - the Stilo & Croma's lifespans were both cut short because of bad reception, Fiat didn't bother with the Grande Punto-based Linea & i'm suprised they've kept the Bravo in the UK as long as they have as that doesn't sell in any great numbers here either.
I was under the impression that there would be no Bravo replacement per se & that the 500L would be Fiats family offering. Particularly given Sergio Marchionne's comments regarding having Lancia & Alfa for big cars.

I'd love a Linea
I love my Marea
If the Bravo had been 5-cylinder I might have worked something out to keep it!

Are you kidding?
It's like a 5 series owner who wishes he had a 1 series.

It's based on the Grande Punto - you really don't want one!
