Fiat USA May Expand Lineup Beyond 500L

The Fiat 500L may be joined by another Fiat product, but the brand's North American head said that it won't necessarily resemble the 500 vehicles. Speaking to the Detroit Free Press, Fiat's Tim Kuniskis said "We won't bring you a commodity car…"Style, for sure, will be No. 1," Kuniskis said. "Any car we sell has got to be something different." Author Mark Phelan notes that while Mini has boxed itself into a corner because of its reliance on brand heritage (i.e. many different variants of the same shape), Fiat has produced a wide variety of vehicles over the years – how about a revived 124, 131 or X-19? Personally, I'd love to see the much praised Panda come over, complete with the TwinAir turbocharged two-cylinder engine. But it ain't gonna happen. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
