Fiat Panda

No, as unique as the first one (the box) it is even no longer. It has adjusted, is even hardly to notice under his model brothers and sisters. Only the side view reminds of its somewhat idiosyncratic predecessor. It has grown a bit, mainly in length, not in the height, because that was already distinctive.

Since the Mini remake of BMW the cars seem to want inspire more through its interior than their outward appearance. Makes sense, indeed, because the buyers have clearly more of it. The Fiat 500, it is still tentatively trying with forms on the dashboard of the style of 60s kitchen appliances. The 2011 Panda comes thus with piano lacquer style pushbuttons. Nevertheless, he has remained practically.

This affects not only the storage space in front, but also the multiple folding and sliding rear bench seat, however, the latter only against additional charge. In some German car is sorely missed the also chargeable possibility to fold also the front passenger seat. After all, the Up! from VW it has. Also the tries to outdo the new Panda with the price.

Yet one must not to be choosy at VW, at least not with the exterior colour. For this you get ESP in addition which you must pay extra for Panda. Can you just wish Fiat to create not such similar composite systems as VW, where one to the extra 'air conditioning' must also order the 'radio'. However at Fiat only the air conditioning is more expensive than at VW with radio.

It is interesting, once using the example of Fiat Panda to compare the mentality of German and Italian companies, oremployees. Please look to at least partially the video below. While for example VW on the Up! relies on car distant ideas of an advertising agency, or the new product with skillfully captures with endless camera movements, of course alone in wide landscape, that one wonders where the camera was or how it was moved.

Such questions will not be at the Fiat video. Here you can see the panda drive across the most beautiful cities and areas of Italy. From time to time the camera stands still and the car drives by, but really spectacular it is not. Only in the middle the film is highlighted with sound. Nevertheless, the images of Italy are so beautiful, I've been longing back there.
