Styling cues were taken
July 5, 2007Fiat has seen a miraculous rising the past few years. A few years ago, Fiat, owner of Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, and others, was basically done for; the company was dead. However, the management was replaced, styling cues were taken from Alfa Romeo and Maserati, and the tide was turned.
It all started with the Fiat Grande Punto, a massive hit (at least) here in The Netherlands. The car sports an obvious hint to Maserati (the nose).
Following the Grande Punto was the beautiful Fiat Bravo, my personal favourite. There’s definitely some Alfa Brera cues in there. Check video too, I love this commercial.
And today, Fiat celebrated the 50th birthday of the legendary Fiat 500 by launching the new 500. Not exactly my kind of car, but hey.
Alfa Romeo didn’t need to resurrect. Maserati did ressurect, followed by Fiat. Let’s hope Lancia is next.
