New Fiat Linea

Featured Replies

To be introduced at the Istambul Motor Show (the same mototrshow where the 4 door Astra is to be unveiled, I believe), here are two links to articles re the new Fiat Linea:

I believe it to be Gamma-based, effectively being the "Grande Punto Sedan": the Linea is 4.56m in length with a wheelbase of 2.6m, while the Grande Punto hatch is 4.03m in length with a 2.51m wheelbase.

Very classy. Good job, Fiat.

Not Gamma-based, but based on an updated Fiat Stilo platform shared with the Stilo replacement, the new Fiat Bravo. The Grande Punto and new Corsa use a cut-down version of this platform.

The 5-door Bravo goes on sale in Feb, the Linea sedan built in Turkey from mid 2007. FYI the project codes are:

198 Bravo

199 Grande Punto

200 Linea

I see a Volvo nose and an Audi profile. Not bad overall, though.

Aha, that's it! I was under the impression Gamma was the name used for the platform. Thanks for clearing that up.

The new Bravo is a very nice as well! Do you have any inside info on interiors for these new Fiats? Fiat's been promising better interiors forever, but somehow always falls short on delivering those improvements...

Bland and effin' boring just like the other 95% of new 2007 cars.

btw: It's an Audi A4 with Lucerne headlights.

Im more with RBB, its a A4 with Volvo nose. Looks like GM is still alive and well at Fiat. Day late and dollar short.........or is that 4years late and 12,000 short....... :smilewide:
