great job Sidindica, hopefully Linea will change the image of FIAT in India.

PmmPassion · 10th December 2008, 23:04

Wow! What about the price factor and the approximate launch?

And pictures?

My Palio 1.6 Gtx can still beat the Linea Petrol

as far as power and pick up is concerned.

rippergeo · 10th December 2008, 23:05

Nice feature list. Also, looking at the specs, The Diesel is going to whip the Petrol version silly at the traffic lights Grand Prix with almost double the amount of torque available lower down.
I also quite like the 15k service intervals.

less messing around at the fiat service station.

JayD · 10th December 2008, 23:11

wow! another great scoop from sidindica!!

The specs looks good, lets just hope fiat does not screw up on the pricing atleast this time!

abhinav.gupta88 · 10th December 2008, 23:14

Sid at it again.
Thanks for the information Sid.
The specs look really nice.

Fantastic scoop yet again Sid

rajen83 · 10th December 2008, 23:24

Thanks sidindica for the scoop on the features list. I am attaching few pics of Linea that I have.

Top end diesel will be more than 8lac ex showroom.

sudheeshnairs · 10th December 2008, 23:35

Autocar december edition says top end diesel model will be around 9 lakhs. Had just finished reading the test report.

FIAT could have adopted a bigger engine than the 1.3 multijet, (even though it has a variable geometry turbocharger). A mental block in accepting an engine which is doing duty in hatchbacks like Palio, Swift and Indica Vista for this big car.

But have to say the specs look juicy
