Talk:Fiat Punto

message: Noticed an error with this article: the Punto is not "officially titled Grande Punto". Grande Punto is a larger version of the car, and has a slightly different front end. The photo in the infobox is of a Grande Punto. A quick visit to the Fiat UK website will allow anyone to see that both the Punto and Grande Punto are available for sale (see the "showroom" in the bottom right). I'll add this to my watchlist, but I'm no expert, so someone else can correct this if they get there first. -- DeLarge 10:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Ok, Im new at this editing lark, but I'm thinking that the information on the Grande Punto should not be on this page. It is not a mark 3 version of the Punto, it is basically a new car with a new chassis and body shell. I was in the middle of creating a page for this but it seems to have been reverted...

replies: text: See thats where I have a problem with this. You wouldn't put the Ford Cortina, Sierra and Mondeo on the same page, as they are completely different models even though one replaces the other. Just because the Punto and Grande Punto share a similar name (I didnt realise that the GP was called the Punto in Brazil :) ) does not mean they are the same car. The Grande Punto is not a mark 3 variant of the Punto, the mark 1 and mark 2 are the same family. I think what we've got here is going the right way, just need to clear up the wording. Agreed though the page for the Punto needs sorting out. Will give it a go when I can... Onesti (talk) 21:25, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And what about Punto Evo? Thinking that way it shouldn't be connected with Grande Punto because it misses the 'Grande' prefix... It appears that someone (probably a fresh Grande Punto owner) is trying to stroke his own ego here by rejecting previous generations of Punto. What's wrong with putting all of them in the same article? Example of Cortina, Sierra and Mondeo is totally inaccurate. It's more like successive incarnations of Escort or Golf. Does Xsara Picasso deserve it's own article just because it's bigger and has a different floorpan? No. Same does Grande Punto. That 'Mk1/Mk2' statement is also wrong. There is no such thing as Punto Mk1 or Mk2. These are user-given designations and are not endorsed by Fiat. --Spavatch (talk) 09:39, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Agreed! I'm sure that Nuovo Uno will be added to Fiat Uno article and there will be no ambiguity with that. --Spavatch (talk) 09:39, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

text: But these cars are named differently other is Punto and other is Grande Punto, (www.fiat.com)--— Typ932T | C  18:24, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, Fiat alternates between both names on occasions, also note no "Grande" on the badge. It is pretty clear they intend to drop the prefix once the 188 Punto is gone, but for now "Grande" sounds better than "Nuova" (or "Nuovo", actually). I see no reason for split now based on the vehicles being "different". PrinceGloria (talk) 21:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. Actually, the 'Mk2" Punto was called Nuovo Punto in press releases back in 1999/2000. But it was never used as official name. The best proof that 'Grande' is just a prefix used for marketing reasons is the way these cars are registered. You'll never find 'Grande' in your registration certificate. Hell, even the Abarth version - albeit sold as Abarth, not as a Fiat - is still registered as a Fiat Punto. So Grande Punto is not a completely new branch. It's obviously a new model but it belongs to Punto family. --Spavatch (talk) 09:39, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

text: These articles have been grow so fast, that bare Punto article would come too big anyway, its better to have different page to totally different car. If would very hard to find info from that large article --Typ932 T·C 10:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, Sorry I had no idea you posted here, The issue is either related to my laptop, Chrome or the MediaWiki software here, Anyway the image shows at long last, I'm not overly sure if it's an improvement over the infobox image - The image would've been better with the front of the vehicles instead to be honest –Davey2010Talk 20:40, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
