Curious how the first one mirrors the grill of the Bravo while the second one the blanked nose of the 500. Wonder which way FIAT will lean? Think we might have to wait a while yet for some sneaky pics from Balocco...
I quite like the top one These are of course just artist impressions and noting to do with Fiat, so how the next Panda will look is anyones guess.
I can't see Fiat taking the front styling of the 500 and sticking it on the rest of the range. The 500 is a one off and I doubt anything else Fiat design will feature much in the way of 500 styling cues.

With you there; the 500 is aimed at people who wouldn't ordinarily 'do' FIATs, so must maintain a distinct identity. I keep going on about it (I'm old, it's what you expect) but I reckon the 2010 Panda will have its 'affordablity' pushed very strongly, much like the Aygo and it's half-brothers. No frills motoring with a style derived from the current model. After all, buyers with a bit more cash will be able to buy not only a 500 but also (from 2009) the new FIAT Uno; quite what styling cues that will follow is anyone's guess!
The first one to me is another grande punto with the back end of the panda .. we had the GP [for 4 whole months] and how I hated that car so I hope they dont go there .. the second one is :yuck: as well and I'm beginning to think fiat have now run out of ideas and are just mish mashing the cars to produce a new model
I like the second one but it needs the Panda trademark window in the rear pillar. The bluff front has 500 overtones but doesn't look retro. I like designs with a solid type front I was a big fan of the Passat Mk3 GT.
if it wants to look anything like a panda at all it needs to keep its boxy look, i have a feeling i'm going to prefer the one i have now when the new one comes out
