Radical rethink for Fiat Punto

I remember how radical the Mk2 Punto seemed when it was introduced in 1999. The edgy, angular styling and trendy seat fabrics and body colours ensured it was popular with young people and they seemed to be flying off the shelves. Then some numpty got involved and ruined it with the facelift. Next thing, the Grande Punto arrived. Attractive but I seem to remember every single motoring magazine slating its interior quality and uneconomical engines. Then we had that funny Punto Evo and then it was renamed Punto again, rekindling some of the original Grande Punto's styling at the nose. If Fiat had the vision for the Punto that they have had all along with the supremely successful 500, then they could make a real go of it. They've always been known for producing great small cars (including the Multipla - it was shorter than a Bravo after all - just a pity that the public were too scared to take it seriously... ironically we now see thousands driving around in similarly zany Nissan Jukes 13 years later). Rethink this decision, Fiat - the current Panda doesn't seem to have been quite as successful as the last one. Turn it around!
