Fiat are also working with Vauxhall....they are working with anyone who will have them because they need all the help they can get European car of the year award? yay. Motorsport race wins, wanna talk about them?? Just about every Fiat that ive had to work on in nearly two decades in the motor trade have caused me grief. The build quality is shite, the ride quality is dated and the brand image is still nothing to shout about. Had the misfortune to work on a stupid little Siento (sp?) today....god awful contraption in every manner. People dont want to change? Its not the same people that have bought cars for the last 30+years In the mainstream market area, most of the sales stats are made up by lease sales....ie reps and commercial sales....lease companies dont just buy on what they've had in the past, they buy on what company offers the best deal and the best suited cars. Dont come onto a Ford site shouting the odds and expect an easy ride from all unless you've got something worthy to shout about
