If Fiat seperates from Tata, they can surely boost their sales in India.

New reason for Punto and Linea owners to rejoice.
Fiat India will come out with a small car for India is likely next year. This car could be on any platform(Palio , Panda) but it should be suitable for India so the work is going on.

Fiat India will supply their 1.3-litre, BSIV compliant, Multijet diesel engine in the 75 HP tune to Maruti Suzuki for the next three years.
The supply will start this month and every year FIAT will supply Maruti Suzuki with 1 lakh diesel engines for use in the Ritz, Swift and Swift DZire. The production of these engines will commence in the fourth week of January at FIAT-Tata’s joint venture plant in Ranjangaon near Pune. These engines are other than the ones which FIAT already licenses to Maruti Suzuki for production by Suzuki powertrain India.
The Italian automaker relying too heavily on the Multijet motor to earn its bread and butter in the Indian market.

Everyone knows that the 1.3 MJD is the best diesel engine in its category and is very reliable too.

Finally, finally Fiat has broken the shackles as both linea and punto combined sold more than 2000 units after a long time.It seems that 2012 models have created some magic.But will Fiat sustain this growth, only time will tell?[thinking]

Fiat should sustain best of luck.

Something is better than nothing! That is not a big improvement but an important one for Fiat. Hope the sales pick up further during the next quarter.
These are combined sales figures and marginally lesser than what Fiat sold in January 2011. Refer to this: http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...acturer-wise-monthly-sales-44.html#post131861

Fiat is really trying to improve. A friend of mine recently bought a Punto Emotion Pack & yesterday he got a call from FIAT ITALY!
They wanted to get his feedbacks regarding the vehicle, buying & ownership experience.
Punto sold a great (for a FIAT!) 1600 units in Jan '12.

Guys, got a call from TATA-FIAT A.S.S. Fortune Motors (where I give my car for servicing) that they are having a free campaign wherein they will come over to my place & do a free 12 point check up on my car & if engine oil, coolant, windshield washer etc. needs to be topped up, they will do it. They informed me that it will take only 20 minutes.
I again re-confirmed with the lady on the phone that it is a free service. I wonder why FIAT is doing this. Is it actually free?

If I’m not mistaken, random inspections are performed from manufacturer’s headquarters and luckily, your friend was one.
To please existing customers? This is a good move though, but I hope Fiat also invests on things which are more important for them right now.
