Fiats Future - They have one!

Italiaspeed have an article on the announcement of Fiats plans for the future.

"By 2008 Fiat Auto will launch twenty new models, two new engines, safeguard its Italian factories, and invest almost ten billion euros in R&D, said CEO Sergio Marchionne "

The good news is they still think there is a future and there is a plan.

Fiat, like every Euro maker, have tried to be Volkswagen (quality + dull) and that didn't work. I think their low point was the “Polo nose graft” on the current Punto. It appears even VW can't do VW so what hope do Fiat have. Toyota make the best "VW's" and make pots of money doing it but would you want to drive a Corolla?

Lets hope the investment is wise, the product is great quality, unique and ITALIAN. We don’t need more VW or Toyota clones. The Grande Punto maybe a sign of hope, at least it doesn't look like a Polo.
