Fiat Linea has arrived

diabloo · 14th January 2009, 18:23

Should Honda be worried? Not really. City has seen off challenges from Fiesta, Verna, SX4. Linea is no different.

I am concerned about hype being built around Linea, concerned for Fiat.

For a change, I have to agree with you

Verna, SX4 and Fiesta! All of them were supposed to kill NHC, especially SX4. But, none of could dethrone NHC or even dent the sales significantly.

Expecting Linea to do that would be a real tall claim, but at the same time, AHNC doesn't carry on the most significant virtue of NHC, perfect answer to million $$$ question: "average kitna hai?"

Linea needs to dish out fantasy fuel average numbers like fords & vernas to fool buyers.

I quite like the biege black interior combination as opposed to the biege silver one we have in India. I somehow feel that all manfacturers trying to get beige in India are screwing up the central console color combination... arent Indians over beige yet???

The Linea has a lot of hopes riding on it. The specs look really good on paper (well, except the power part but most of the market isnt really bothered). Lets hope for Fiat's sake that it succeeds in providing some 'real' competition to the ANHC. That can only be good for the consumer
