Fiat Ottimo

Fiat branded Dodge Dart hatchback. Quite possibly the blandest hatchback ever made. IMO rivals the MG 6 in terms of generic styling.

Well bland is better then when Fiat tries to be funky. This does not look bad.

Definitely attractive. I like it.

Same here, looks decent.  Kinda Mazda 3ish.

Nowhere near the "blandest hatchback ever made".

Very nice looking car.

Its by no means an ugly car, but it just doesnt look very interesting. The Bravo is so mjch prettier and more interesting.


Then again, I also don't like the Dart, either.

On looks alone, I'd drive one. Seriously, if this is as fun to drive as a 500 or a GTI or close, it would be a serious contender.

EDIT: China market only?

It's a Dart hatchback, which means it'll be a fat cow.

It's far from ugly, but I'm not finding it to be drop-dead gorgeous either.  It's certainly better looking than anything else in Fiat's current lineup, though.

Fuck.

I have no idea how to pronounce the names of any of these cars.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Couldn't see it swaying me from a GTI but it's a solid design. Don't know what is so "generic" about it. It looks like a hatchback to the extent that all hatchbacks look like hatchbacks... but it has its individual charm.

Wasn't the Dart really just a stretched Alfa Giulietta which was a Fiat design anyway?

Me either. And I'm glad I'll never have to.

Looks very stylish for a cheap mainstream car sold in a developing market.

It isn't cheap.

It should be if it's just a Dodge. Because that means it's a POS too.

This doesn't compete with all those cheap Cherry's, BYD's etc.?

Not really, goes against the Golf and Focus.

But it's a Chinese market car, so it will be competing against any C segment vehicles currently for sale in China.

More as an alternative than a direct competitor, in the way that a Corolla competes with a 3-Series because they're both small cars.
