I agree that Fiat is doing great in Europe now. It has won the most no of "European Car of the year" awards, no doubt.

But what is its image in India? Fiat has done so much to tarnish its image here that it actually needs no competitor to bad mouth it. I really doubt if people will be willing to put in their hard earned million rupees into the Fiat basket, no matter how good the car is. I have read certain rave reviews of Linea and I was hoping that Fiat would price it competitively, but TOI thinks otherwise. But, as Finney says, it is TOI.

And this comes from a very happy Palio owner (close to 4 years now).
