Well we didn't have an interactive discussion but I was hoping that they kicked one off. Sadly it didn't happen and we were too busy checking out the plant which is fabulous and spread over some 9 lakh square meters (approx).

Those Grand Punto's were test cars or manufactured units. If later, then they are getting very close to launch.
