thanks for the pics
any other information you have?
Great news! The pricing would make this a killer!
I have decided to book pearl emotion diesel on the first or second day of launch. Expecting on road price in TN to be around 9.4 to 9.5 L :)

Sadly, with it's relatively puny engine(s) the Linea would be slightly breathless running on its 90bHp, 1368cc Diesel engine or the
rumoured 95bHp, 16v, 1368cc twin-cam Petrol engine that actually does duty in the Grande Punto. With these engines I doubt the Linea will be able to blaze away against the competition.
Sigh! what did we do wrong to not deserve the 120 bHp, 16v, 1368cc turbocharged engine from their new T-JET family known as 1.4 16 V T-Jet. Given Linea's size, even the 150 bHp engine that does duty on some variants of the FIAT Bravo would have been an awesome option.
Autocar India claim to have the specs and prices of the FIAT Linea. Click
here to find out more.
Let's hope this time around FIAT India stick by their proposed launch date and hope Autocar India have got their information spot-on.
Rs. 8.36 lacs (ex-showroom, Mumbai) for the Diesel Emotion Pack variant seems quite reasonable for a feature packed Linea and Rs.7.82 lacs (ex-showroom, Mumbai) for the Petrol Linea also seems reasonable except that personally I will always feel shortchanged by FIAT India for not giving us the 120 bHp, 16v, 1368cc turbocharged engine from their new T-JET family known as 1.4 16 V T-Jet.
Nice scoop. I sincerely hope FIAT gets it right this time with the Linea. This car has the potential to transform FIAT's image in India, if handled with care. I had the chance to see this car in person at the New Delhi Auto Show and found it to be adequate.
well guyz! i was roading around midnight yesterday with my family (for the new yr) and i came across 4 lineas on road. unregistered though. but i saw all the four at different places. One was driving right in front of me. Followed it from the nucleus mall signal to the inox signal. took some un-impressive snaps with my mobile cam. will post them shortly.
No idea about FIAT, but I believe some corporates do have IP clauses barring ex-employees from divulging confidential information. Hope you don't get into trouble.
Nice snaps though !

Seems like you're last job left a bitter ending hence the such a harsh statement. But it's best not to discuss such things here, however what we would like to have is a test drive report on how the car performs.
Thanks for sharing all the previous info and these pics, an indept TD report would be great at this point if possible.

And maybe you could have avoided posting pics of yourself along with the Linea.. if I assume that the guy standing next to these beauties is you :)
Buddy the series is going to keep most of us on the edges, so think quickly for everyones benefit on how the series can roll in and how soon :)
As a FIAT fan, I hope the statement was not related to the cars they make or sell
Boss,
please re-read the terms of your employment. Some companies won't take too kindly. Chill maadi!
I don't think anyone at Fiat cares, If they did they would have had better dealerships to sell this car from and to tell you guys the truth there is no confidentially clause in any of the papers that i signed while i was there in Fiat, And the terms of employment ? You guys don't want to know.:Frustrati
The What I Said above I shall hold on to it, maybe with a little correction
I Love Fiat, But I'll never buy one in India as long as it's being sold/serviced through Tata.
