A touch of Bangle to the 2004 Palio???

v12 · 20th February 2004, 19:50

Hey whats up with these "Bangled" type headlights on new cars. BMW's done it with all their models. And now its Fiats turn. A look at the 2004 palio and u'll think that its designed by CB. Though the car looks much sportier with the sporty front bumper, the long grille and the curvy headlights spoil the show. The interior looks good except for the multi-colored dials [Guess which color is missing??

]. The rear end is the best. Looks more like a sporty VW Golf. *

The interior looks cheap - awful !

I second that, the interior looks horrid. What missing color are you talking about V12? white/yellow?

GTO

just kiddin GTO. Fiat has included almost all the colors into that dial. Looks cheap.

I like the interiors of this car. Much better than what we see on the palio over here. Even Autocar India praised the interiors saying the interiors finally get the stylish italian flair.

Well well well
Looks like the Palio interiors have been designed keeping colours and someone who wants to spead colour in all lives. This looks like a Sachin Gupta special Edition Palio.

Anyways on a serious note the interiors are too gawdy but yes the car looks pretty good from the outside

Cheers

Bangled? Well, still not really bad I should say.
But they better get those dashboard lights sorted out. All that pink and red is going to hurt the driver's eyes after some time.

In response to the dash-lights,

i dont think they are bad. In the picture - yes they are...

but the fact is that so many lights are never going to be on at one given time ever.....unless your just starting the car and stop before cranking it OR you have a bad dynamo, low oil, highbeams on, injector problem, handbrake up, and hazard lights on.

I think the lights in the dials appear pink because they are probably red and the numbers and calibrations are painted on in white, and in resizing the pic on the computer it has had to squeeze a red and a white pixel together and made it pinkish.

So in terms of the diwali decorations i dont think its that bad.

The rest of the car....i dont know......i really really liked the looks of the old palio.....especially the GTX in black or that dark grey.

cheers
