Also appears in UK press as FIAT and Chrysler news. The above article mentions possible "Abarth" version. Two too many doors IMHO  ::)

It is pretty grim, isn't it?

Mind you, when I saw what Ford are producing - the latest EcoSport - this Fiat did not seem quite so dreadful.

What on earth has come over car stylists these days? The vast majority of new designs are just goppingly awful.
