Punta is providing the most beautiful Hatchback on Roads, Sturdy, Best Diesel Mileage, Best Safety, Money Value. while Linea promises Style, Mileage, Ride Factor and fit and finish. With all these positive things we can expect Fiat to have a warm comeback.

With the ugly looking interiors, poor customer service and costly parts it is debatable that would these cars really work wonders or not.

Absolutely no doubt on that, its come back with punto & linea makes a huge difference in its sales,.. Always Fiat group is a watchful one too,.. it's emerging segment in small car is a challenging one for allthe car makers, always Fiat is good at its engine quality,..... We should have to remember that its a mother for Ferrari group,..

competition is high and Fiat is working on its old models yet. rather doing innovation fiat needs to do certain inventions.

Dear Mridula,

Agree so far as service deficiencies are concerned.

The price of parts is not excessive in comparative while both Linea and Punto are good on looks and have functional interiors, I feel, and better than many others.

Mridula before commenting on poor customer service ,parts etc we should have an idea that these cars are manufactured in Pune and marketed by Tata Motors in India and they have a waiting period of 3 to 4 months which cars with urly interiors don't have..

I agree with you and i would like to add more one thing that Fiat itself also reposition in market after appointing Yuvraj singh as brand ambassador. Slowly but really good growing fiat in overall market. Eventhough just recently Chevrollen launched Brand "Beta" taken too much success and break the market of swift,indica, i10,i20 etc.

According to me the successful launch of Linea and P unto had made Fiat's international presence felt again in India.

Fiat had no market in India when all imported cars were available. Only Baby Fiat was to be seen. I remember seeing only one or two medium/large segment Fiats in Lucknow city in the 1950's. It was only when car import was banned in India and only a few manufacturers agreed to manufacture cars in India that Fiat 1100 came into prominence. With the advent of Maruti Fiat started losing ground due to obsolete technology and with liberalization so many good cars lined up and Fiat was not prepared. The lack of after sales service network, introduction of outdated models like UNO, further added to their misery. In the modern car market where major US & European auto giants face stiff competition from Japanese cars Fiat stands nowhere. The fancy for Fiat existed in India as people had no choice earlier. The brand has never been able to impress the Indian buyer.
