Maybe the Fifa president should take himself out of circulation for a while and have a damn good think First we were cross with Thierry Henry. This turned out to be an unsatisfying experience, like shouting tiny, pathetic inaudible words of remonstrance through the gummed-shut side window of your broken down Fiat Panda at a rich, successful, uncaring man as he zooms overhead in a fur-lined helicopter...

What was the most significant piece of motoring news in 1998? The arrival of the Ford Focus? The debut of the Smart? Or was it the launch of the original Gran Turismo game for the PlayStation? I pretty much lost the summer of '98 to Gran Turismo, the first modern driving game and the one that pretty much set the formula for its many imitators. GT was designed to bring out the inner geek like nothing...

Are you familiar with Lada? No? Let me refresh. It is the bargain basement Russian car (think the Red Square’s version of the Fiat Panda or Citroen 4CV), mass produced in huge quantities during the 1980s and 1990s when everyone there started driving. It’s from the AvtoVAZ, Russian car manufacturer, and still in production today. [...]

The Corsa is going off-road! These are the latest shots of Vauxhall's new supermini SUV, slated for release in 2011. Underneath this Meriva body is a car riding on a higher suspension and featuring a wider track. It has some rugged looks to suit the small SUV image. The wheels arches appear muscular while the bumpers are fitted with protective plastic. Bosses are keen that the Corsa SUV lose the 'gas-guzzler'...

Well, stone me. I got my act together and was at the bus station by 9.15am for the 200 bus to Antibes. Here followed one of the unwritten rules of travel -- you never know which buses are going to be crowded without direct experience thereof. This bus was virtually empty compared with the 11.15am bus that I caught to Canes on Tuesday. But it still took 90 minutes to get to Antibes. This was partly...

There’s definitely something strange about our garage. It’s a dark place at the best of times, but on a stormy night the doors rattle and the wind whistles. The grandchildren, normally full of noise and action, grow silent when they go in there. Although nice and tidy when I leave, on returning everything is in a mess. My wife Linda hasn’t been there for years, and everything that...

Filed under: Chrysler , Dodge , Jeep , Fiat Chrysler LLC has concluded its 7-hour-long marathon presentation of the business plan (read our Live Blog of the event here ) that will see it through the next five years, and what we're left with is a little confusing. It's almost as if the automaker's new executives, amidst apologizing for the company's past and promising to do better in the future, were...

There's a long history of Ferrari bosses and sporting stars owning a Fiat 500 to get around in, but it's always been a lot rarer for them to succumb to the charms of the Fiat Panda. But reading an interview with Luca di Montezemolo, the 62-year-old chairman of Ferrari, SpA and of Fiat, SpA, it's revealed at the end of the article , that in addition to the standard Fiat 500, and the lovely Ferrari California...

I'm not sure Formula 1 star Mark Webber is in the normal group of people who would buy a Fiat Panda, but having him test the car makes for interesting perspective. It turns out that he likes the interior, but not the handling, raucous engine noise, or windscreen wipers lifting from the glass when following a truck closely. Read the short report on Mark Webber testing the Fiat Panda on the Telegraph...

Fiat sued Great Wall, because it alleges that the Great Wall Peri infringes the intellectal property rights of the FIAT Panda. After this Great Wall sued FIAT at the Shijiazhuang People's Court, based on "evidence" provided by FIAT to the court that they made photo's of production facilities. Fiat suspected Great Wall to have infringed its Panda's IPRs (ping), so it made photo's of Great...

Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Manufacturing/Plants , Opel , Europe/EU , Germany According to Alain Visser, Opel's head of sales and marketing, Opel needs a minicar to compete. However, developing a new minicar is a huge expense, and even though Opel has set aside €250 million for this car, the company would like a partner. It's not unusual: Ford and Fiat share the Fiat Panda / Fiat 500 / Ford Ka...

The Formula 1 driver is impressed with the adjustable steering wheel and seat in the Fiat Panda but finds the acceleration to be lacking.

Small in stature, that’s the i MiEV as it measures 3,395mm, that means that the i is 143mm shorter than a Fiat Panda. However the wheelbase is 251mm longer, this is great help when it comes to rear passenger room and means the i MiEV has a real advantage over similar cars in this [...]

I think that this will be my last blog about our July/August trip to Noia and this one relates to our hire car. Usually we get something along the lines of a Peugeot 207, but prices were so high this year that we went for the most basic car that was on offer and the result was a Fiat Panda. Frankly I do not know what to say about this car. On the one hand it was without doubt the worst car that I have...

Fiat has recently revealed its latest special edition of its small off-road model for the Italian market. What makes the Panda 4×4 Glam Edition exceptional in Fiat’s eyes is the new pearl white finish that’s accented by the aluminum roof bars and the freshly styled 15-inch alloy wheels.
