Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() Our thanks to Team-BHPian "Satish_Appasani" for bringing this to our notice. After screaming it out from the rooftops of how commited they are to the Indian market, Fiat - India finds it website ( www.fiat-india.com ) pulled off the net. Reason - Unpaid bills since one year! This is one company that deserves to die. I mean, how careless and aloof could a mega-car company possibly be? First they lose their customers, then their dealerships (Shaman) and now their website hosting. GTO |

| ![]() Its really sad to see Fiat in such state of affairs. Just recently they shut down theie dealership at Prabhadevi which now showcases Ford cars. I really doubt these claimas of improved service etc.. Fiat makes really good cars but its infrastructure is a lost cause . I now really dread to see them going the Daewoo way. Hope I'm wrong Dippy |

They will HAVE to be company owned and managed cos no sensible businessman will want to invest in a Fiat dealership. GTO | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I just called the Fiat VCare (Do they really?) and asked them whether they have checked their site recently. They are unaware of this. They are in a very pity situation. Sometime ago, the Fiat VCare people gave me their regional office number for south India. When I call them, it is Sundaram Fiat in Bangalore. Is Fiat controlled by Sundaram? I really don't want Fiat go down the drains. Both me and my Dad drive Fiats. I don't know what other car can replace my Palio D for around 5 lacs. God save Fiat.

| ![]() When it comes to FIL, there are no limits on how many blunders one should commit. A recent survey shown a sizeable number of Palio owners are from IT sector, closing of site for such a ridiculous thing will further damage the ill image it carries 2day. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() [color=darkorange]this doesn't really come as a surprise as they hadn't updated the website for a long time before it was taken down.[/color] [color=#ff8c00]the Sienna was still being advertised on the website till long after it was discontinued. [/color] [color=#ff8c00]there was no news about the introduction of the Petra & the discontinuation of the Palio 1.6.[/color] [color=#ff8c00]i'd tried sending them emails regarding this but all in vain[/color] [color=#ff8c00][/color] [color=#ff8c00]ad[/color] |
