Popular Mechanics Drives the Fiat Grande Punto



While the Fiat 500 gets all the press, if the Chrysler-Fiat marriage is going to result in a mainstream model, the most likely candidate could be based upon the current Fiat Punto. Here's a link to PopMech's preview drive of the current Grande Punto. The Grande Punto is a direct comopetitor to the Ford Fiesta (to be called the Verve when Ford brings it to the US). You can expect if the Verve is popular, VW will introduce its competing Polo model in the US as well. There's an outside chance that the VW entry would be built in the US in VW's new Tennessee facility.
