The Fiat Palio has been around for 12 years and Fiat, as per several reports, is testing and harmonizing the successor.

Well, not exactly, but the site conceives this could be the car which will be the substitute in the following 2 years under a 1990′s Fiat brand, Innocenti.
There are talks about a facelifted Fiat Palio in India by the end of next year and this is the car which will do the job of reviving Palio sales in the country, if not anything else. It’s a refreshed Palio, with a lot of changes both on the inside and the outside. If Fiat has to capitalize the attention they have grabbed with the Linea or the Grande Punto, they have to introduce this model in India before it is too late.
It is a well-known fact that massive discounts are offered on both the petrol and diesel version (the diesel version isn’t very old, remember) and the 2010 Fiat Palio could change it all as it would be an all-in-all new car. We’re also offering a word of advise for Fiat at the end of this article.

As we reported earlier, Fiat is planning on introducing a string of low-cost cars for Western Europe to cater to the budget-conscious car buyers.
Reports suggest that a total of 3 models are being worked on, out of which 2 will be developed by Fiat’s Brazilian subsidiary. The vehicles will use the Fiat Palio and Uno platforms.
The Fiat Punto Turbo T-Jet is Fiat’s take on the hot-hatch segment. Filmed testing in the roads of Brazil, the T-Jet will be formally presented to the public at the National Automobile Chamber of St. Paul which is scheduled to take place on the 30th of October in Brazil.
