New Fiat Uno Unveiled

Fiat has released photos of its new super-mini Uno, which will initially be produced in Brazil, and may, or may not, eventually be sold in Europe as well. The emphasis is on room and a “crossover look”, not unlike Toyota’s Urban Cruiser (Scion xD). It certainly isn’t on the handsome good looks Fiats were once known for. Times change.

    BTW, full disclosure: I do not work at Fiat nor any of their suppliers. But like General Malise said on another post Fiats work for me. And have done so for many years. And better than similar cars form competitors. And Mr. Paul, I'll reinforce what some other poster has aked for on another thread, isn't it time to put a little Fiat logo at the bottom of the page. We surely have been talking about them a lot. Thanks in advance.

      My mom has a 1998 Fiat Siena EDX 1.3lts which CKD came from Brazil. It currently have 350K kms on its original engine. Rugged and comfortable. Nice handling (when new), underpowered. The old Uno is nearly indestructible. Both of them are cheap and easy to fix. The Siena parts were CHEAP when I was in charge of its maintenance, and continue to be so. Ah, and you can find parts near everywhere.

    *Wincing* Trying to picture this with Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep / Ram badging...

  • Lorenzo I just noticed the 1954 Ford Customline V8 has the same exterior dimensions, but better legroom, shoulder room, hip room, a V8 engine, and a trunk lid. It sold, with Fordomatic, for $21,500, inflation adjusted.
  • Lorenzo They won't be sold just in Beverly Hills - there's a Nieman-Marcus in nearly every big city. When they're finally junked, the transfer case will be first to be salvaged, since it'll be unused.
  • Ltcmgm78 Just what we need to do: add more EVs that require a charging station! We own a Volt. We charge at home. We bought the Volt off-lease. We're retired and can do all our daily errands without burning any gasoline. For us this works, but we no longer have a work commute.
  • Michael S6 Given the choice between the Hornet R/T and the Alfa, I'd pick an Uber.
  • Michael S6 Nissan seems to be doing well at the low end of the market with their small cars and cuv. Competitiveness evaporates as you move up to larger size cars and suvs.
