One thing I never understood, when FIAT was with TATA, people all over internet in many forums had onyl one thing to say that separate from TATA and setup own chains of dealer and service centers. And now when they are trying to do this, people are still bashing about their future in India. I am not sure what is FIAT's future in India, and But strongly believe they are not making loss, look at the number of cars being sold every month with FIAt's multijet engine in it. I am always in favour of person who tries, whether they fail or pass is different story. Today as well I stand for FIAT because they try.
This one is from FIAT.

+1 Dharmesh, Yes people always wanted the Fiat to have their own showrooms and network. When they were with TATA even I too was scared last year to buy Punto and ended up buying a Ritz. But today they started the same strategy listening to people and started building their own thing and probably they may be slow, but it is understood if some body want to do it, then getting a place in prime location and their own staff for showroom and service and locations according to previous sales numbers all this will take bit time, but it again seems that most of the people are negative or pessimistic on their moves, and want to kill it before it try to revive themselves, this is something really surprise me !!
we cannot notice day to day things on media, but if we clearly look at the link posted by visran there is a strategy being applied in those 43 pages of PDF which clearly says that their is something happening really but not visible outside.
I spoke to a sales guy in one of the TATA showroom I visited where the same owner now opened the exclusive authorised service for fiat in Hyderabad and this sales guy was very positive with this move saying now at least they are out of that confusion during TATA-Fiat tie up where both the vehicles used to be standing side by side and both were scared for cross sales, now they are bit happy that they just focus on TATA and the people at Fiat focus on Fiat and according to him, there is a good response after this move by them management accepting to open service network of Fiat
