Fiat has treated us poor unfortunates who were unable to get over to Geneva with video highlights of the auto show held there. It was a big show for Fiat, with the introduction of the new Tipo 5 door and wagon, 124 Spider, and Fullback pickup as well as the redesigned 500S. Take a look!




Fiat debuted the Tipo 5-door and Station Wagon at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The new models join the award winning Tipo 4-door sedan that debuted last year. Last month, the Tipo won the coveted Autobest 2016 award. Established in 2001, the Autobest Award is chosen by a multinational panel of European automotive journalist. Eligible cars are evaluated in thirteen different categories, including design, comfort, running cost-effectiveness, driveability, price, service network, spare parts distribution, versatility and buy-back value.

Prominently displayed at the show was the new 124 Spider, which went on pre-order sale late in February in the major EMEA region markets. An original Fiat 124 Spider was on hand to give context to the new design. The 1970 model shown is painted in Colorado Yellow and equipped with the 110 HP, 1608 engine complete with two Weber 40 IDF twin-barrel carburetors.
