Fiat Spy Shots

Fiat, an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, is an Italian automaker and a major player in the European marketplace. Founded in 1899, Fiat is now the world's sixth largest automaker and the largest based in Italy. The company is currently led by Sergio Marchionne and its portfolio includes the Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Fiat brands. The company began selling vehicles in the United States in 1908, but pulled out of the U.S. market in 1983. In January of 2009, Fiat acquired a 20-percent stake in Chrysler and will once again sell its products in the States, starting with the 500 subcompact.

Spy Shots: Fiat 500L seven-seater spotted 1334932140

We like the small Fiat 500 a lot, but we're not so fond of the upsized version Fiat is planning. When the five-door 500L debuted at Geneva, calling it homely was being generous, indeed. We can't deny the logic in offering a more family friendly 500, however. But a size-large seven-seater? This quite literally stretches the limits of the 500's ethos. Yet ...

Spy Shots: Dodge Caliber's Alfa Romeo-based replacement spotted wearing crosshairs 1316791680

When we first caught wind of the Fiat intention to get cozy with Chrysler, our first thoughts leapt to the slew of sexy Italian compacts that could conceivably make their way to the states. Of all the hardware that could potentially be Americanized, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta was the one hatch that had our loins stirring the most. Now our elite squad of spy ...

Spy Shots: Under this Fiat Qubo is the new small Jeep 1303831740

It looks like Fiat and Jeep have been busy working on the American manufacturer's upcoming compact CUV. Our tactical squad of spy photographers managed to capture a few images of a Fiat Qubo test mule running around in upper latitudes of Sweden. Apparently the baby widebody tester is our first glimpse at the small Jeep CUV set to debut in 2013. The ...

Spy Shots: Fiat's high-riding, all-wheel-drive 500 1296671400

The 2012 Fiat 500 may just be launching here in the United States, but elsewhere, Fiat appears to be working on an all-wheel-drive 500 to battle the high-riding Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic that have both been recently spied. Rumors have suggested that the AWD variant will be introduced around the same time as the slightly facelifted 500 in ...

Spy Shots: Facelifted Fiat Sedici spotted 1230647460

The Fiat Sedici is up for a refresh that is so subtle you probably wouldn't notice it unless you were a member of a Sedici enthusiast site, which is where these photos came from. Fiat's version of the Suzuki SX4 crossover, gets a new grille to fall in line with Fiat's design language and a front bumper treatment that turns the door cladding into one ...

Spy Shots: Fiat 500 "Cabrio Coach" 1221134280

The only thing that could possibly make the Fiat 500 any cutesier than it already is – short of a Hello Kitty sticker job – would be to turn it into a convertible. Castagna tried its hand at just that with the unique Tender Two concept, but the latest batch of spy shots indicate that Fiat's own is getting closer to completion. In fact, reports ...

Spy Shots: Fiat 500 Abarth SS 1219368660

Fiat is set to debut the high performance version of its fashionable 500 -- possibly in October at the Paris Motor Show -- and spy shots have revealed that development is well underway. If fans of the retro-mobile were let down by the Abarth model's relatively puny 133-horsepower and sub-eight-second run to 60, the SS model will improve those numbers ...

Rendered Speculation: Alfa Romeo MiTo could be first true MINI-killer 1204549080

The Mini is so 2006. VW's new Polo has yet to launch. Neither of those cars matter once you set eyes on the forthcoming hotness from Alfa Romeo. Alfa is coming back to the U.S. market, and while everyone's been ga-ga about the 8C Competizione, supercars just don't support the type of sales volume that Alfa is looking for. Dubbed the MiTo, Alfa's B-car might ...

Spy Shots: Fiat Abarth 500 SS 1200664620

The hotrod version of Fiat's new 500 was snagged by photographers in frozen Scandinavia practicing its flick. Wearing a tape job, the Abarth 500 SS doesn't do a whole lot to disguise its body mods. The snout and rump have their details pretty well obscured, but the overall motif is discernible. The wraps will come off this extra-aggressive Lilliputian in ...

Official Alfa Romeo Junior sketches surface 1190125860

Germany's Auto Motor und Sport has unearthed sketches and renderings of the upcoming Alfa Junior. Yet another car they get over there, that we wish we could have over here. Automakers usually counter hatch lust with the party line that they're not popular in America, so we'll see what Alfa puts on the US bound boats. Based on the Fiat Grande Punto's ...
