There's one for sale near me, a 53 plate diesel for £495. Excellent motors - I love 'em.

FIAT have designed some great looking cars. The Coupe still looks fresh today, the Barchetta was a delight, and i still think the Brava and Bravo series of cars look stylish now.
Multipla was certainly a bold design, but so much better for it. Who wants another Renault Scenic.

Judging by sales figures, I would say a lot of buyers.

Yes, that is very true and unfortunately for Fiat was always going to happen. Renault were on the ball with MPV s back then. Still good for Fiat for trying a bold and interesting concept.

The Fiat Coupe was one of Chris Bangle's earlier efforts. He then went on to ruin thousands of BMW's.

Mmmm, I did have a 20v turbo coupe for a while and it was a fabulous car. Unfortunately mine had not received the maintenance it needed when it was younger and had the potential to disinherit my kids and so it was traded in for a Mitsubishi Legnum another car with awesome performance married to practicality.
I owned both these cars in the last couple of years of my teaching career, and they provided a wonderful diversion from what successive governments had turned from a joy to a chore. Looking back on them, I miss both those cars but I wouldn't swap an XM for either now. Within reason of course!

Yeah, he ruined BMW styling for me personally. The Fiat coupe was a highlight of his design career though.

Agreed Russ. The Fiat Coupe was ( and still is ) a cracking looking car. A future classic in the making.

One of the nicest looking Fiats IMHO was the Fiat Coupe 125/B SPECIAL VIGNALE 'SAMANTHA'
