Test Drive : Fiat Grande Punto - A Showstopper

Three years ago, Tata Motors joined hands with Fiat India in what was seen as a move akin to offering the seemingly-drowning Italian firm a straw to clutch and save itself.

Which meant that both Tata and Fiat passenger cars would be sold jointly from each other’s showrooms as is the case today.
While Tata Motors launched its new Fiat engined Indica Vista not so recently, Fiat India was seen to be soldiering on with an ageing range.
