New Fiat Grande Punto

By  •  Published:  •  Last updated:



Well, not all new. Mostly a new front end and interior.
But the whole thing makes it look more upscale than before.
We are still supposed to see a version of it in the US. Maybe as a sedan.
I think both the sedan and hatchback would give Chrysler something to compete with the all new Euro Focus coming to the US next year.
GM will finally have the Cruze. Chrysler should get something.

This is the current Grande Punto front, so you can see…

  3. This car is in smaller class than the Cruze and Focus. It'll compete with the Ford Fiesta and Chevy Viva. The larger Bravo/Linea would compete against the Cruze and Focus.

  4. Uncompetitive crap…OH Wait!…It's Chrysler!…Perfect.

    The two greatest losers in the auto industry become losers together…Hope they don't have children!

  6. "The larger Bravo/Linea would compete against the Cruze and Focus"

    Actually, the Linea is the sedan counterpart of the Punto mainly aimed at Eastern Europe and Turkey. It's not a Focus competitor unlike the Fiat Bravo.

    By the way, I think the new front end is a mess, at least on the picture. The grey plastic makes it feel way less upscale than the old front bumper.

  8. Vince, you need to get out more. Instead of boring us with these myrids of miniscule moron-mobiles, you could be showing us automotive works of art– like the 2010 Rolls-Royce GHOST! Now THAT'S what I call an Automobile!

  9. Vince is more of a realist and likes to publish a bit of everything to cater for everybody.
    Good work vince.

    "Miniscule moron-mobiles".

    This guy must be from America.

    Qucik, Vince, post a Dodge Ram up from a bankrupt and completely pointless company.

  13. I always loved the clean lines of the Grande Punto. It was one of the many masterpieces of Giugiaro and one of the best looking superminis here in Europe. In my opinion the tacked on grey plastic moulding and the rounded and overstyled dashboard is too much. Not an improvement over the old one.
