Fiat are launching this as the 'Linea' and to me it looks like quite a nice looking car and has the looks of a small Maserati, what do you think?.

I can see where you're coming from with that, the styling is a bit like Maserati. Is this the replacement for the Marea? I had a Marea 1.8 as a courtesy car once - quite possibly the worst car I had ever driven (well, still is to date!). I hope this new one is a bit more solid.

Oh. LOL. My first car was a 1.6 Marea. I'd put a KnN filter in it. Sounded bloody excellent, at the time i thought it was the fastest thing in the world. Drive it now, compared to my car, and it's quite poor. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the worst car in the world! But, it's one of them!

That looks really nice.

Fiat really need a car in the Mondeo class

I like it. Lets hope the interior is up to scratch. Imho the only thing that lets the punto down is its low-rent interior.

It looks more like a mini Audi to me.

Fiat uno turbo ie 140 Brake - light as a feather. Nearly died in it when the ****** driving it went over a crossroads accidentally.

Built like a tissue box, but fast as you know what.....

People say these fiats are good these days, personally I cant see the similarity to maserati. More like a focus saloon or cc.

I just love the quatroporte - but definately a marmite car.

To be fair I had the B5 Passat at the time when I got the Marea courtesy car. :P

I actually thought it was a 1.4 or something until I found out the significance of 115 on the wing (the bhp of the engine). :eek:

Linea looks nice, certainly better looking than the hatchback which look a tad awkward at some angles.

looks like a focus saloon.

looks like a focus saloon.

but nicer! i thought it was a punto salloon? or maybe not

I wouldn't touch a Fiat with yours

Looks like a cross between a Jetta and the last S40 to me.

think Fiat are going to rollout the styling cues from the Punto Grande to the rest of their range - saw a photochopped replacement for the Stilo and it looked good.

Fix It Again Toni!

F***ed In A Tick

I just love the quatroporte - but definately a marmite car.

Only the Italians could make 'four-door' sound sporty
