Fiat Linea

Fiat will sell the line in Spain

The doubts about whether the new Fiat Linea would arrive only to emerging countries or also to the more developed ones have just been cleared by Fiat Spain, which confirms the commercialization of this model in the second quarter of next year.

The line is to cover the hole that was left free after the cessation of production for Europe's Marea, since the arrival of the Croma, only body with family, not like lovers saloons.

Reportedly, the line will have to compete with the new Citroen C4 Sedan, Peugeot 307 Sedan and the existing Mégane, Jetta, S40 or Focus. It seems that the only model that will run away is the Astra, which despite having four-door version is not due to arrive at the Spanish market-of-date.

Hall Istanbul: Fiat Linea

While we know almost all of the line, failing to realize the engine that will reach different markets and levels of equipment, Fiat shows for the first time the press and the public this sedan.

It is in the Hall of the Istanbul Motor Show, where hundreds of journalists have been attentive throughout the morning so that the project took off the veil that covered the new hatchback.

Have seen from all possible angles, but always from outside, without an option to consider any images of the interior or the trunk. It is assumed that during the month of November, more images, as the unity of the Turkish sample has completely obscured the windows.

Fiat Linea, another image

So far, the Fiat Linea know the profile and to be presented later this week at the Salon de l'Automobile in Istanbul. Now, thanks to the leaks that come to the Internet, we have a different view of the model.

Very elegant and pretty big lie that this model appears to be derived from the Grande Punto, with much less packaging. It shows that they share a platform and some other element that most, if we look at the front door, maintains the same architecture, which is also visible in the new Corsa.

It is likely that over today or tomorrow we have much more information on this model, as well as the principal technical characteristics. Of course, we look forward to more pictures of both the exterior and interior.
