Fiat New Croma (known as New Large)
Here are the first real pictures of it (if we can believe in italiaspeed.com).

Enjoy!

The car will have its debut at Geneva this year.

That is without doubt the most attractive car I have ever seen in my life.

No, that means that the Germans can make a better looking car than the Italians, wich is odd

how many signums did you see today? The thing does not sell at all, in fact the Croma (still got that stupid name and you must get that point ) looks considerably better than the signum, which looks too flat.

That's a very nice photoshop there.

Do you think the Seat Ibiza rear lights, Peugeot 307 SW roof, windscreen and glass house will make it to the production model?

Comment 1
these are pics that were also published on a dutch car magazine website. Whether it is the final version remains to be seen.
Comment 2
obviously you think that Fiat has done some clever copying and you are just asking this question to prove that they are dickheads

These are official pics shown on the Fiat media site.

The last few official pictures of new Fiats all looked like pshops (new Multipla, new Panda etc)

Well IMO the Signum looks much better, but that's just a matter of taste. It's true that you don't see them much here, but that's just due to the (bad) taste of many people in the country we live in
