Fiat might have taken a lot of flack last year, both for coming short of expectations in the sales department and for its uninspired marketing campaign. But we’re also willing to believe they’ve put the past behind them, especially seeing the success they had with their 2012 Super Bowl commercial, featuring the hot Abarth 500 and an even hotter model.
The 160 hp version of the cinquecento will launch this month and we expect a fair bit of attention. Next year, Fiat will also introduced the recently revealed 500L wagon, which is supposed to have all the chic of the regular coupe, but with two extra doors.

However, the lineup won’t be limited two just these two platforms, as Detroit Free Press has spoken with Fiat U.S. brand chief, Tim Kuniskis, who revealed a third model is coming.

He did not reveal a single bit of information, but talked of the car as being centered around style. The Bravo hatchback is the only car which only just fits the bill, but it’s already an old model.
Instead, we’d say the next generation of Fiat Sedici is the vehicle in question. The current one is little more than a rebadged Suzuki SX4, but the replacement will have a new platform and hopefully better styling.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
