Kaj pa pravite na Fiat pando?
Cisto natancnega seznama kriterijev, ki jih upostevajo, ne vem, sem ti pa skopirala tekst, ki so ga ojavili na nekih avtomobilisticnih straneh, ob podelitvi. Avto sem tudi ze osebno videla in sedela v njem. Zdi se mi prav posrecen, izbor barv je izvrsten, notranjost je ergonomsko prijazna in zanimiva, zunanjost pa bistveno ne odstopa od sorodnih avtomobilov (atos,…) Se mi zdi pa cena, od 1.600.000 dalje, zelo sprejemljiva.
The prize-giving ceremony of the “Car of the Year 2004” trophy, which a
jury of 58 trade journalists from 22 European countries awarded to the
Fiat Panda, was held this evening in Paris, at the Hotel D’Evreux in the
beautiful setting of the Place Vendome. It is the first time that a
“supermini” model has won the title, which is the most important awarded
to the motor industry.
Herbert Demel, CEO of Fiat Auto, collected the trophy, underlining that
“this evening the prize goes not just to a car, but to a great tradition
based on over 100 years of history, in which the evolution of the car and
of mobility has always been closely intertwined with the history of Fiat
and its products. Because Fiat Auto’s heritage is one of cars and of men,
that have left their mark on the technological progress and motoring
history of the 20th century.”
The new Fiat Panda continues this great tradition, the most advanced
response in the field of city cars: a car with small external dimensions
but offering the comfort that we are accustomed to on larger cars,
designed to consume very little but no less brilliant because of this, ideal
in town traffic and perfect on longer journeys, always guaranteeing that
every occupant travels relaxed.
These are the winning features of a car that is the new benchmark in this segment. And the prestigious “Car of the Year” award confirms the great interest it has aroused in the international media since it was presented in Lisbon. Success with the critics that has since been confirmed by the European clientele: in fact, over 130,000 orders have been received by the network since the launch.
Herbert Demel concluded: “The title won by the Panda, the appreciation of the press, and the excellent welcome from the public are real, tangible signs that our company is on the right track and that the work done, and underway, is starting to bear fruit.”
Pravkar sem se vrnila iz testne vožnje…
Ko sem se vsedla vanjo, sem odkrila nepričakovano prostornost in visoko raven udobja pri vožnji. Maska spominja na enoprostorca, bočna linija je usločena kot pri limuzinah….
Za voznika je dobro poskrbljeno….sedeži omogočajo dobro stransko oporo, položaj voznika je visoko in omogoča širok kot vidljivosti.
Prestavna ročica je vgrajena v armaturno ploščo, prestavljanje je izredno tekoče.
Predvsem se lahko razveselite novega diselskega motorja, 1,3 Multijet s 40 kW ( 79 KM ) . Predvsem je zanj značilna nova tehnologija vbrizga goriva ( Common Rail ), ki poleg majhne porabe goriva omogoča izredno živahnost motorja. Ta motor naj bi prišel na tržišče sredi leta….
Kljub vsemu, da sem bila nejeverni Tomaž, ko sem slišala , kateri avto je postal evropski avto leta, sem bila danes prijetno presenečena in vse pohvale malčku….
