Even the A pillars and the quarter window in the front windows look like the Punto.

have you seen the Grande Punto??? is an incredible car; the current No.1 at the european market and way beyond Swift, Getz, Clio and 207...
Hey Rod, the Punto has been the largest selling car in Europe for 3 months now although the numbers include the last generation Punto as well and you are right about the car being way ahead of the premium Indian hatches but the Grande Punto, sizewise is a Grande car. Because of its sedan sized dimensions, it will probably be priced a lot higher then Swift and Getz. What I like about the Grande Punto is that the car looks very rich. It looks more expensive than it is. Isnt that VFM or not!

Problem is anything over 6 lacs max and the car will flop in India no matter how good it is. Probably, Grande Punto is too way ahead of it's time in India, just like the Palio was when it was launched. Looks like in Fiat's case, history is going to repeat itself!
