The launch of the Grande Punto marks a new milestone for Fiat in India as we bring the quintessentially Italian design to Indian shores. Our previous launch C Plus sedan, Linea has met with tremendous response and we are confident that our latest premium hatchback offering will also excite our customers. The Grande Punto is unique and designed to be the new benchmark in terms of style. We believe that the B plus segment in India has been under tapped and consumers are increasingly looking forward to driving world renowned international brands on India roads. The Grande Punto will offer safety and quality standards that are particularly high for its segment at a very competitive price. The car will tempt prospective customers with one of the most pleasurable drives in the segment and will also be an exciting proposition for its customers with its great/content ratio. Grande Punto is for demanding customers who love hatchbacks and yet want the luxury of a sedan. The high level of localization which will increase to 85% by december 2009 has helped us aggressively price the Punto.
