Fiat India Automobiles Ltd. welcomed a host of guests from around the country as they gathered in Pune to drive down their favourite Fiat cars to the Fiat factory in Ranjangaon. 60 Fiat cars came together from cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Trivandrum and Pune. The guest list consisted of Fiat enthusiasts and owners of Fiat cars. Around 125 people made their way early morning to Pune after which the convoy of enthusiasts which included Rajeev Kapoor, President and CEO, Fiat India Automobiles, headed off to Fiat’s Ranjangaon plant.Â
Rajeev Kapoor addressed the occasion by saying, “We at Fiat, are extremely happy to see all the Fiat fans come together and it is our pleasure to be a part of this occasion. The turn out today reflects the love and trust Fiat commands and we hope that this continues.†Families of owners also were a part of this gathering-cum-drive and they enjoyed themselves as they saw the cars lining up at the meeting place.
Once done with breakfast all the car owners lined up their cars for the ceremonial flag off. The cars vroomed out of the parking bay and headed towards the exit. This meet presented the owners and the on-lookers with a great chance to watch the old and the brand new Fiat cars rubbing shoulders with one another. Fiat cars like the Palio, the Grande Punto, the Punto 90 hp, the Linea and the all new Linea T-jet. Â Even a young lad who came along with his father could not resist admiring the Linea as it got out of the parking.
Modifications on the car attracted a lot of attention and the incoming of a Grande Punto 90 hp sports drew a large chunk of the crowd present there. The shutters went click !click! as it rolled in and out of the meeting place. While the sunroof on the sports got its fair share of attention, the boom! boom! of an audio system in yet another Punto which was enough to grab the attention of everyone around.
Rajeev Kapoor along with Marius Dlima and Ravi Bhatia flagged off the cars as they made their way to the Fiat factory in Ranjangaon. Each driver was given a thumbs up as they rolled out of the hotel and a distinct ‘drive safely’ instruction was heard as Rajeev Kapoor saw the cars leave. The experience of a lifetime awaits these 125 people as they make their way to the facility and knowing how their cars are made only doubles their faith in the company. Fiat does enjoy a huge fan following and it could be seen by the turn out at the event.  It can be thus concluded that when it comes to Fiat cars admiration is guaranteed.
