The punto and the linea are stunner's but they also have some thing else as well like for instance one of the best petrol[T-jet] as well as diesel[multijet] engines in the world.Fiat also have an automatic option called the Dualogic[Robotized manual sequential gearbox] which they say is better than conventional manual as well as automatic gearboxes atleast in theory[though this feature is very unlikely for an Indian version].
Details about the technology here:
Duemotori
In India ,Fiat are manufacturing the 1.2L as well as 1.4L petrol engines as well as the 1.3L diesel engines at their ranjangaon plant by next year.These engines can be tuned accordingly so the same engine can do duty in more than one car,we will wait and see what the final output bhp figures are.
Fiat are also talking of getting the Alpha Romeo,Masserati and yes even Ferrari here in partnership with Tata again.
