[edit] Automatic is 5 speed
I should know, I drive one. It is a dualogic roboticised semi auto/auto box with 5 forward speeds and 1 reverse.
[edit] Validity of the New Panda article
Please try not to pollute the original Panda article with 2003 onwards items as that is all in a different article. I've removed two incredibly confusing entries. (This unsigned comment was left by 86.214.7.110 on 23 April, 2006.)
You have got to be kidding... "Old Fiat Panda"?! "New Fiat Panda"?! Whose bright idea was it to separate them (and give them such unencyclopedic titles)? If Wikipedia can incorporate 10 body styles of Ford Mustangs spanning 40 years in a single article (and get it featured), or seven generations of Mitsubishi Minicas spanning 44 years, how do a pair of Pandas require their own pages?
Nothing to do with me ( 86.214.7.110 on 23 April, 2006.) ). Frankly I couldn't give a stuff whether the articles are seperate or not. However, whatever is set up should be adhered to, or altered entirely. At the time of the edit above, there was the "New" and "Fiat Panda" articles kept seperate and "New" items kept appearing in the "Original" article.
I'm going to discuss a merger of the two at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. I hope to see you there if you'd like to contribute to the discussion. -- DeLarge 18:51, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- I merged the two as your right there is no reason to keep the two articles seperate. Regards, Signaturebrendel 04:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- I just got through cleaning up the article. What do you guys think? --ApolloBoy 06:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Polish police buy blue & white Panda Actuals
If only the British police would do the same, then they'd be "Actual Pandas"! (A "panda car" being a British term for a local — non-high speed use — police car, which were once painted blue and white in many forces.) ;-) – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 17:10, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Panda Super windows
This is a super-trivial point, and the article isn't wrong in what it says just now, but it may be misleading by omission. And since there's the impetus for a cleanup just now...
Whilst I'm certain about the fact that the 1986 "Mark II" had full-size front side windows without quarterlights, which I've added to the article, and that the original 1980 Pandas didn't (as you can see in the photos in the article), I'm curious about the 1983 "Super" which came with a front-grille facelift but not the main mechanical changes under the skin. I'm pretty sure it didn't have the new windows. But I can't prove it from any of the brochures I've got. Anyone? – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 17:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
