Fiat is an Italian brand first and foremost, but it's a major player (and manufacturer) in the Latin American market, where it's just revealed the new Cronos sedan.

Built on a new modular platform, the Cronos replaces the old Punto-based Linea sedan with a completely fresh form.

Though clearly coming from the same automaker that builds the Tipo in Turkey, the Cronos is sized smaller to enter one of South America's biggest market segments. The manufacturer estimates that niche accounts for some 300,000 vehicles in Brazil and another 100,000 in neighboring Argentina, a bigger slice of which Fiat is clearly eager to take.

That's very nice, something I think would sell in the UK too noting the popular Octavia/Mondeo/Passat segment.

Which is a bit of a gap in their range at present, the Punto and Tipo maybe cover the Focus/Fabia/Golf market but nothing bigger til you hit the Fullback cashcow.

I agree but small saloon cars don't sell all that well in the UK unless you're a taxi!
