MetroMPG -
Thanks for posting a picture of the Fiat Grande Punto. That's one of my favorite "
I Can't Have" European cars right now.
Fiat is on an upswing these days. They have been getting a lot of "good for the environment" press because they have been designing cars for FE. They have returned to traditional "lower tech" mods like weight reduction, taller gearing, and ECU/PCM tweaks to create the kinds of cars that Ecomodder's want.
I think the Fiat Panda is ranked among the best MPG/Eco Diesels in Europe :

Quote:
The popular UK Fiat Panda range has been boosted by the arrival of tthe state-of-the-art turbodiesel featuring Fiat Auto’s widely acclaimed, Euro 4-compatible, 1.3 litre 16-valve MultiJet engine – the smallest and most advanced common rail direct injection turbodiesel in the world.
This resulta in not only the most powerful and quickest Panda in the range, but also the one with the lowest fuel consumption (65.7 mpg [Imperial?!?!?] combined official figure), lowest emissions and lowest running costs.

PS - The Grande Punto also comes in double-shot-espresso ABARTH livery too :
