New Fiat Stilo?







These shots may be the new Stilo from Fiat. You may notice that I've thrown in a picture of the Kia ED. That's because of an Auto Express report that suggests the new Stilo may be sharing componentry with the Kia. How much "truthiness" to that story remains to be seen, but hey what's life without hearsay and conjecture? The designer of the new Stilo is Frank Stephenson of Mini fame who accepted a position with Ferrari only to be, uh, promoted to Fiat. But back to the topic at hand. Are these pictures the real deal? Well, rumor has it that the next Stilo will more closely resemble the hot selling Grande Punto (the blue car pictured above) and these pictures would bear that out. I've also thrown in a picture of the current Stilo for comparison.
