Or is the white box under "Model Range" supposed to show that?

May be due to some issues with Internet Explorer version you are using. Do you have plugin for flash?

OT: I think it is not flash, not even a javascript, but a simple GIF image. See if this works for you

btw, what are you doing with IE there? move to firefox! the safest browser!

Fiat confirms 17th June launch on its blogsite!

Blog Archive Fiat India to launch Grande Punto on 17th June

Fiat claiming "GP will fall in the same segment as the Maruti Suzuki Ritz, Hyundai i20, Skoda Fabia and the to-be-launched Honda Jazz" is interesting! It sort of is telling that Jazz is no more premium than Ritz or i20 or GP

I saw 2 of these being loaded into a truck in Bandra last night.

I'm very excited and completely jobless as well, 17th seems so far away. Just can't wait. Did a lot of googling but couldn't get any information on the petrol engine, timings of the 1.4 punto, pickup etc. If someone could provide any inputs I'd be delighted.

You don't need a blog/news to tell you that. But who will tell Honda that?

Fiat - make it quick! I have to buy a car now :(

My housemate feels the same way! All that he is waiting for is the GP to compare and decide. This time no super scoops from sid's?

ms001 · 3rd June 2009, 12:09

Is team bhp getting the invite for the test ride like RITZ ?
do you have any information mods?

xPK · 3rd June 2009, 13:14

Thanks alot guys, but nothing worked for me. :(
Damn!!! I really wonder why I am getting so excited. We almost know everything now.

Would a launch on June 17th mean the bookings open on the same day or few more days further?

Some dealers are already taking informal booking amounts. Check with your local dealers.

From the Fiat Blog:
In addition JD Power has been hired to conduct quarterly CSI/SSI survey to monitor customer satisfaction and feedback on regular intervals.

This will be interesting after the GP launch. Lets see how many satisfied Linea/GP customers are there on each quarter.

I saw Jazz in real here in Germany, it looks very ugly to me. I am not sure what is ur definition of preminum, is it a brand, Honda. I feel, look wise Punto has a reacher look than Jazz, brand wise Honda. Punto will offer more premium features than Jazz.
