    Fiat re-entered India as a strong brand; Fiat Palio Stile was a great success and is still doing well in terms of performance and style. It is nice to know that Fiat is planning to introducing a natural gas-fueled version of its Palio compact. I also read about list of Fiat cars, they are planning to launch in India.
