Chery made Fiat Linea - yours for 90 to 120,000rmb.

fiatlinea.jpgThe new Chery Fiat tie up is getting under its own steam right now, and plans for the Fiat Linea have been leaked to the internet.

The Fiat Linea seems to be roughly on par with Cherys A5 model, in terms of sizing and engine capacity.

Its good to see Fiat getting off on the right foot again in China, their previous line up was a little ’stuffy’ and sales began to reflect the dull line up, despite NAC Fiat giving them a makeover, Fiat sales continued to plummet. The good news is, Fiat and Chery are planning to put the sexier Fiat range into production, we cant wait for the Fiat Punto to hit the roads of the PRC!

I love this model, but it’s so over-priced here.

I believe NAC got the rights to the old Fiat cars when Fiat/NAC split!

Expect the Soyat range to grow rapidly over the next few months…..

hahahaah bet ya it’s going to be in less time!!
Now, that’s an odd situation…
NAC has the “rights” for Fiats in China…
What happens now if GW decides to copy it…??
so NOW it would be illegal????!!

anyway, this fiat linea is a pretty nice car, but isn’t much more than a Grand Punto with trunk.
Since it looks a lot upmarket, it’s easy to overprice it…

too much front and rear overhang and little wheelbase length… typical of big trunk sedans based on sub-compact plataforms…
but they really have done a nice job in this car… although I still don’t like that much overhang… make cars look dull..

NAC cannot sell them with the Fiat badge, but it doesn’t look like Fiat is serious about stopping NAC from continuing to assemble those old B, or is it C, segment models.
