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...

  • Carson D At 1:24 AM, the voyage data recorder (VDR) stopped recording the vessel’s system data, but it was able to continue taping audio. At 1:26 AM, the VDR resumed recording vessel system data. Three minutes later, the Dali collided with the bridge. Nothing suspicious at all. Let's go get some booster shots!
  • Darren Mertz Where's the heater control? Where's the Radio control? Where the bloody speedometer?? In a menu I suppose. How safe is that??? Volvo....
  • Lorenzo Are they calling it a K4? That's a mountain in the Himalayas! Stick with names!
  • MaintenanceCosts It's going to have to go downmarket a bit not to step on the Land Cruiser's toes.
  • Lorenzo Since EVs don't come in for oil changes, their owners don't have their tires rotated regularly, something the dealers would have done. That's the biggest reason they need to buy a new set of tires sooner, not that EVs wear out tires appreciably faster.
