The Fiat Group has done their best at the Paris motor show, such that I wonder whether all the talk of doom and gloom for the group is a little hysterical. The Fiat brand went to the Paris show pure as snow, with its entire range dressed in white.

I’m not so convinced by the gigantic Fiat 500 present, but it was the entrance to a welcoming space. Fiat introduced to customers the adoption of the Pur-O2 line - versions with reduced emissions thanks to the Start-Stop system and interventions on the engines and transmission. From November the 500, Bravo and Croma will be offered in this range with the base-level engines of the 1.2 litre petrol, 1.6 litre diesel (at 90 and 110hp) and the 1.9 litre at 120hp.

The Fiat 500 and the Grande Punto will soon be available with the Eco Drive information system, which combines with the Blue&Me system to register one’s driving characteristics. More talk was had of the 500 Diesel but a notable absence was that of Sergio Marchionne.
