I was just wondering why there are only 6 color options for the Fiat Grande Punto? Seems like there are so many more colors in the international version. I think Fiat should introduce more colors in India as well. What do you think guys?

Hi Fiat, please introduce some more colors for the Indian road Laughing

Hi

Only 6 colours are intro as some of the other colours are not suitable for our extreme heat.

But the problem is that the colors shown on www.FiatPunto.in for the Punto is very different from the actual colors running on the road. Just take the example of Exotica Red  or the Minimal Grey. Exotica Red on the website looks really cool but on real roads, it looks much more reddish. There is no similarity between the actual and the website-displayed color. Same goes with Minimal Grey. On the website, Minimal Grey looks more greyish but on real road it looks nothing different then Silver color.

I wish Fiat start giving those colors to the actual Punto as it is given on the website.

Fiat has adjusted the shade to be unaffected by heat

Fiat Linea also test it international colours on its test cars but some of them started peeling of or developing crack.So other colour wil come in the feature but with a variation

Yes , i also feel that Fiat should introduced more colours which are available in the other markets. I think it has nothing to do with weather of any specific country. Yes ours is hot climate & it does have its effect but it will be on all colours not on only fews. Second one can never match the exact shade of a colour shown on website or in brochure with real one on car as substrate is different ( electronic Vs paper Vs metal ). One can not produce the same/ exact colour if the substrate is different . It is bound to be different.
