Accordind to Le Quotidien Auto on 04.05.05, "This is NOT a Fiat" will be Fiat's launch slogan for the new Croma 2, a car in the Mondeo class. I looks like an estate, but Fiat says it isn't one. Rather it's a cross between an MPV and a saloon car (saloon car sounds hilarious to my American ears, a saloon beiing a bar in the wild west way back when).
"It's a car that excells by its stature, interior space, percieved quality, and quietness. As far as the price is concerned, it really IS a Fiat."
The car described in the article had the 150 hp version of the 1.9 MJTD and a six speed automatic. It is based on the Opel Vectra platform as is the Saab 9-3 and the Chevrolet Malibu. The petrol engines will be existing Opel units while the Diesels come from Fiat. The Croma 2 is 12 cm taller than a Vectra estate for more interior space.
Sorry, I can't tell you when it will arrive in the UK.
