Fiat Punto Evo: It Gets A Makeover!

September 18th, 2009

Fiat Punto EvoNow – The Fiat Punto Evo is a car that is supposed to look almost like a Maserati in a hatchback form, however – the Italian automaker actually updated the Fiat Punto Evo and they wanted it to be a surprise for the public.  To me – this is exactly the makeover that was needed, for it will definitely put Fiat back on the map.

Visually, the Fiat Punto Evo has all sorts of new things!  New bumpers, new lights front and rear, a brand new grille and a handful of little and modern touches that truly does make this beautiful car look amazing and feel very – very good. 

Although, the Fiat Punto Evo hardly ranks among the many European hatchbacks, I think that this little car is definitely on its way of making it in the rankings!
