Out of the plethora of new cars invading the Indian market, the Fiat Uno is the only one that addresses the lower end of the car segment. The Fiat Uno was born in 1983 in Europe and has been a success story ever since, winning 11 international awards of which the most prestigous was the "Car of the Year" award in 1984. The Uno was revamped in 1990 when it was given a new face and new hatch. Though the Uno was superseeded by the Punto in 1993, and is now a generation old, it is still being made in several countries. The car's virtues of brillant packaging, low-cost motoring and much value-for-money, all of which made it Europe's best-selling car, also make it the most appropriate car for the Indian market.
