Talk:Fiat Palio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear user NaBUru38:
There's absolutely NO plans of create a new generation Palio. Do not follow the info published by Worldcarfans.com for example.
That media has confused the Grande Punto with southamerican specs with an all new Palio. Fiat do Brasil has already revealed that the facelifted Palio 'll be presented in the Sao Paulo auto show in October 2006.
The 1.0 16v engine was dropped in late 2004; the current 1.8 8 valve GM sourced 'll be dropped in 2007 due to the end of the joint venture between GM and Fiat in Brazil; that's why Fiat 'll make a new engine in Argentina. The 1.6 16v was dropped in South America this year, and also in Europe, replaced by the 1.6 16v Ecotec engine from Opel (fitted in the Stilo and the Sedici).
- These two articles say differently: [1] [2]. Besides, if this was the Brazilian-made Grande Punto, the spyshots would not show it in a snowy environment, but a tropical or equatorial one. As this model will be a "world car", it is being tested in every climate, including snow (for the East European markets).
- Anyway, your part has some spell mistakes and informal style ('ll instead of will), so I've corrected them. -- NaBUru38 00:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Many thanks for the corrections.
The spy photos showed by worldcarfans were taken in Sweden. The car is exactly the same the Fiat do Brasil has in the Betim factory in Brazil.
Check this pics taken in the factory:
This is a "mule"... a prototype of the new chassis for test.
