Hey Alex/Grunau, what do you think of this car?

Not bad for a Fiat:costumes: It shares a lot of interior components with my Grande Punto and I like it´s unpretentious looks, concerning the vehicle class.

Honestly I fell in love with this one:

Took a seat at the dealer, interior smelled like fresh leather, definetely the finest custom made and most bad-a...-car in the Fiat range...what a blast!:jump: Now I only need some sponsors:d

There are plenty of interesting cars to be found in Turkey. The classic sedan model is way more popular in those countries than it is in western Europe, and there are models there that are being build especially for those markets. Lots of French cars too; the Renaults 9,11 and 12 (And the licence-built Dacia's) are very common as are the Turkish Topaz and Anadols. The Fiat Palio which was only sold as the break version over here can be found as hatchback and sedan (Called the Albea) there too. The Renault Symbol is a Clio sedan, and I also spotted a Citroen C4 sedan.

Many carcompanies use their eastern european factories and alliances to produce especially for these markets. Renault = Dacia, Fiat = Zastava, etc. They even often produce older models, cause these are easily sold in these countries. Cheaper, economy models.

Talking about the Palio:

Great commercial! :d

The local built cars are indeed cheaper to buy, and usually have sturdier suspension with a weaker setting than western european models. Not surprising considering the condition of the roads there. Next time I have to spend three hours in a minibus there I'm bringing a neckbrace!

I've seen more than a few cars which had the hubcaps attached with tieraps to prevent them from falling off!
