Styling of the Year
Fiat Grande Panda
Based on
Citroen C3 which interestingly wins another award here, Fiat Grande
Panda distinguishes itself massively from the Citroen purely by
innovative and imaginative design. While the shape and proportion can
be hardly altered due to hard points, Fiat's designers give it
cool-looking dot-matrix grille, headlights and taillights, as well as
body panels pressed with either "PANDA" wordings or Fiat's 4-bar
signatures. The interior is no less attractive. It features a dashboard
inspired by the rooftop track of the legendary Lingotto factory, while
clever use of colorful trims and fabrics make it feel good and never
cheap. We all know good design can add value to cars, but few manage to
do as good as this one.
