| Senior - BHPian  | The dealerships have no clue as to when the Punto Sport is being launched. I was at a FIAT dealer, just for the heck of it (trying to trade in my Swift) IF I get a good deal. I asked Punto Sport & the guy virtually started looking at the ceiling - totally clueless or a great actor !!  Cheers |

| Why so much expectation Well Said @samyakmodi - +1  and @Ricky_63 - would you tell important dates and announcement to dealer, if you are a CEO of a Car manufacturing company? FIAT is company and dealer just deals the car - what ever is given to him and when ever it is given. Why be so surprised when he does not have any info. (no harms meant) Well, I could generalize (after reading other Punto 90 BHP threads) that many people will be disappointed if FIAT does not follow their definition of Sportiness. |

| Senior - BHPian | Why Not ???? Quote:
As for the definition of sportiness. Why call it "sport" if it is not sporty ??  so do we expect a Civic type 'sport" version. Cheers | |

| T-Jet for me  . And I want one NOW!Only, why won't FIAT put one of their new fangled Multi-Air engines into it - 1.4 rated at around 150hp - and release a 2-door limited edition? Where can I put down a deposit? |

Some one told me that this car is in India for homologation  & they may be selling it in "limited numbers"... In case that is true, I think I know which car I would be buying next Cheers | |

Now, what I'd expect Fiat to do, is to discontinue the 1.4 in it's current avatar and sell the 1.4T-Jet in it's place. But that would happen after the Linea T-Jet is firmly entrenched in the market. This is surely going to take some time, I think at least a year. | |

| Fiat Engines are becoming refined and wonderful by the day. Apart from giving Maruti a new lease of life. Serving its partners TATA's so well. They are happy to co-exist. Live and let live. Now with the T-jet coming, the Punto will be a scorcher  Also heard the T-jet might serve the brand new Safari also. Wow....! Note from Mod : This thread is closed. Please continue the discussion over on SidIndica's excellent test report Last edited by GTO : 15th July 2010 at 09:38. Reason: Adding thread closure note |
