Grand Punto

Hey Guys..saw a Fiat Grand Punto on road this weekend..and man ..after a long time saw a car that had class in it..that had a character in it...'non-aggressive admirable bold'.

Since long Maruti has been numbing our design admiration senses by turning out one after another bland design. Look at Swift Dezire's boot ..reminds me of car Ambassdor....the Ritz..hey unconventional abstract whatever you may call it....only problem is that you can't appreciate it.. 'A Star'..the front looked good when I saw it for the first time and the I saw its tail...entirely disconnected..looked like Lion's torso on rear of a goat.. Zen Estilo..swollen jelly bean...lets not even talk about it..its a shame on original cute jelly bean Zen - probably the only car along with SX4 from Maruti stable that have a design with a character.

Skoda Fabia, Mahindra Logan just added to the blandness on Indian roads.

Thanks to Hyundai's i10, i20 and Honda cars that kept on refereshing our design taste buds..one could still appreciate Grand Punto
