GAC-Fiat officially launched their first assault on the Chinese auto market with the Viaggio compact sedan, announcing on Thursday evening in Shanghai competitive pricing for the six 1.4T versions. Taking on a group of popular models including Ford Focus, VW Sagitar, VW Lavida, Nissan Sylphy, and Chevy Cruze, the Viaggio goes on sale for 108,800 Yuan (US$17,185) for the entry version and 158,800 Yuan for the top-end.
A sibling of Dodge Dart and Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the inaugural GAC-Fiat car is based on the CUSW (Compact U.S. Wide) platform. Sitting on a 2,708mm wheelbase (compared with Darts 2,703mm), it is 4,679mm long, 1,850mm wide, and 1,471mm tall. Overall, it remains close to the Dart in both exterior and interior styling, although the nose has been changed to look gentler and less sporty.
In several important ways, the Viaggio is not a re-badged Dart as some have claimed. Not only is the Chinese-made car equipped with significantly fewer safety and convenience features (for instance, except the top version, the Viaggio comes with only two airbags, while ten are standard on the Dart), it also gets less advanced powertrains and underpinnings. Fiat brings the T-Jet 1.4 liter, rather than the 1.4T Multiair, to China, mated to either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed dry dual clutch transmission (the last-mentioned is developed jointly by Fiat, Magneti Marelli, and BorgWarner). The T-Jet 1.4 liter comes in two versions, putting out 88kW/5000rpm or 110kW/5500rpm. To save money as well as interior space, the multi-link suspension in the rear has been replaced by torsion beams.
Founded on March 9, 2010, GAC-Fiat is a 50:50 joint venture between Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (GAC) and Fiat. Its factory in Changsha, Hunan, where the Viaggio is built, has a production capacity of 140,000 units a year (the joint venture plans to expand it to 250,000-300,000). A vice general manager of the company recently forecast over 10,000 deliveries of the Viaggio before the end of this year.
More than 30 pages, many photos - Chinese photos - I think the brochure is a good one for Fiat fans, and for Europe collectors, also for Chinese version lovers!

It's been a while...again, since my last post.
Quick update re my collection.
Since my last post I have gained another 100 or so brochures, mainly mainstream uk models but a few oldies too.
I was fortunate enough to have been given a boxful of brochure from the 60s to 80s all in mint condition from an old gent across the road from me. It had a nice MG RV8 brochure at the top of the pile...I'm a bi of an MG fan so it was nice to see.
I have also added a 1964 Aston Martin DB4 GT brochure to the collection which I love. It burnt a hole in my pocket to get it but it was well worth it. It's not in bad condition either for its age.
And lastly and partly the main reason for posting after so long, today i managed to acquire a brochure that supercedes my "most epic" item, previously the Porsche 918 customer box set". What is it I'm sure you're wondering...well it's a McLaren F1 brochure, but not the normal road going version, this one was created for the F1 GT longtail. I think I'm correct in saying that only 3 road going versions were ever made...am I wrong? So I'm quite impressed to have finally got my hands on one as they are few and far between!
I have actually got psychical possession of it yet but I'm making a 400 mile round trip on Monday to collect it from the guy I got it from. If anyone would like pictures of it when it arrives, please let me know.
Other than that excitement I called Jaguar the oter day to enquire about the f type and they were kind enough to send me a f type media kit they gave out at Paris! Certainly a new car I wouldn't mind getting!
Keep up the brochure collecting people!
