Default New Fiat Punto












I like it, it looks as a mini-Maserati (in front)

I think its abit too chubby, a diet is in order. The front is the nicest part of the car tho, which reminds me of a maserati for some reason

Hehe...

You see, I don't like when the smaller companies (even though they're on the same group) copy the bigger ones. A FIAT should look like a FIAT, and a Maserati should look like a Maserati.

They should've tried harder, if you ask me.


And other thing that pisses me off is the shape of pretty much all of these new cars; now they all look like damned MPV's...

i can see the similarity too although comparing it to the new Jag XK is more appropriate.

It's just another Eurobox...I'm getting confused with the Fiat Autogroup car line up, there are two many similar models in the same category. What's the point of having both the Panda and the Punto...are they really all that different??

It looks almost worser than the new Fiat Croma, which is hideous.

The back end looks really good but the front just doesnt look right. It's like they've put the front end of the new XK in the wash and shrunk it down - it just doesnt fit.

You know what...? Now that I look at it again, I think I like it. A lot.

Even the front...

The front also reminds me of the new Jag Lightweight Concept... and the DB9 too!
hahaha, i was waiting for someone to actually say it. it did remind me of aston martins. the front, i also think, doesn't work on this car, but at least the car no longer looks plastic-y from outside.
