Fiat Grande Punto new brazilian prize

The Fiat Grande Punto has won the prize "Imprensa Automotiva 2007" in Brazil, one of the most important automotive awards in the country, since it is given by a jury of specialised journalists.

The jury was made of 63 automotive journalists coming from brazilian newspapers, magazines, radio stations and televisions.
The finalists in the category of 'Best National Vehicle' were the Fiat Punto, Chevrolet Vectra, Citroën C4 Pallas, Honda Civic and Volkswagen Golf. The Fiat Punto won with a clean 77 % of share.

The small italian car was elected not only for its design, but also for being the only car on sale on the Brazilian market to offer the innovative Blue&Me system and for the good equipment in general. This is the second award in barely two months: in october the Brazilian-built Punto won another award, the "Inter-American Car of the Year".

Carzone Grande Punto Shogun

Carzone Specials earned its reputation as a mild tuner of midprice European sedans and hot hatches ranging from the Ford Fiesta to the Suzuki Swift. Its latest aero body kit, called Shogun, is designed for the Grande Punto, the car that is widely credited with helping to reverse Fiat's sagging fortunes in Italy.

The Shogun package bundles replacement front and rear bumpers on three- and five-door models, and adds side skirts to the three-door.

The tuner also offers a KW coil-over suspension kit that can lower ride height by 2-3 inches. Wheels are available in sizes up to 19 inches.

Carzone also has a new edition of the Opel Astra, dubbed the Eclipse, and will soon come to market with its Audi A4 Blitz.
