Everything the Italians do is sexy, not just Ferraris and Lamborghinis. We know the Alfa Romeo Brera is auto erotica, but who knew how drop dead gorgeous this little economy car from Italian automaker Fiat would be? Well, we had a guess, which is why we sent international Autoblogger Alberto Ballestin over to the Fiat booth straight away to get some seat time in the new Fiat Bravo. Dipped in a thick coat of Candy Apple Red, the Fiat Bravo on display looked delicious parked next to an equally yummy Fiat spokeswoman. We were a little concerned that the heavily doctored press shots that first impressed us would give way to disappointment on seeing our first live pics, but it turns out the new car’s simple yet classic lines impress even in the flesh.
Though we would have likely spent too much time walking round and round the new Bravo on its display stand, Alberto got down to business and crawled inside of one to test the interior. He’s reporting that fit and finish is definitely improved over previous small cars from the big boot, and that the materials, in particular the soft plastic used on top of the dash, feels very rich. He had a few issues with some handles in the car, but was impressed with the inclusion of a USB interface to stream music to the car’s stereo from a portable music device.
There are three gas engines available that offer 90, 120 and 150 horsepower, respectively, as well as a pair of diesels pumping out 120 and 150 horsepower. We’ll admire the new Fiat Bravo from afar, for like most of the vehicles in Geneva this week, arrival in the U.S. is not an option.
