and Does it make any sense for a carmaker to produce a vehicle just for an event? Sometimes it does, as we have seen with the cars Volkswagen presented recently at the 2008 GTI Meet in Austria such as the Scirocco GT24, GTI Performance ConceptPassat R36 Styling Study. For others, presenting a vehicle as a show car is just an excuse, as the BMW M1 Homage will someday prove, since BMW would not invest so much money just to leave its customers mouthwatering. We could say the same for the Fiat Punto Turbo, which was recently presented at Quatro Rodas Experience, a test-driving event promoted at the Interlagos F1 racetrack, in Brazil.

Fiat negotiated in the last weeks possible forms of cooperation with the U.S. Chrysler Group, said the general director of Alfa Romeo brand, Luca de Meo (photo), forward Mediafax.

Marchionne held to indicate that at the beginning Alfa will lose money for cars sold in the United States and not one can not become profitable until he found a partner in the region. Such collaboration would reduce costs Fiat, in the conditions in which European exporters are affected by the high cotatia euro, and would mark the return of Alfa Romeo brand on the American market, where it was withdrawn in 1995.

The British magazine Auto Express, with the help of Poblete, has given its readers the first look on what may become the future Fiat Topolino, a small city car that aims to help the Italian automaker achieve the new European Comission regulations for lower CO2 emissions and better fuel economy.

Of course the new vehicle is also intended to increase Fiat’s selling figures. If the renderings are correct, and we have no reason to believe otherwise, Topolino has great chances of doing so. It will be less than 3 m long and will offer a seating system similar to the one that has been presented with Trepiuno. In other words, the small car will be a three seater, with the option to carry one more person in short ways. This solution is very close to the one presented by Toyota iQ, already one of Topolino’s future competitors, as well as the smart fortwo. Considering the engine will be mounted on the rear of the car, below the boot floor, there will be reasonable space for cargo, also.
