The almost-Abarth Linea

I wish. Guess the closest place to hunt for one would be Germany

Now hang on, there's a Crew Cab as well? I've only ever seen regular ones

Oh, that's not too distant to you!

Yes, there is! Take a look and say what you think to me! The Strada in the first picture is the older model, the one sold on Europe I think.

From the second photo on you see the facelifted, aimed with a third door, power sunroof, new tailights and a larger box.

I really like the facelifted one. The bed of the Crew Cab version is practically useless. However, the cabin itself looks very nice! I guess I would still prefer regular cab, bed might swallow some firewood, etc. and thus give it some legimate use as well. I also like the colour, a very nice red!

Yes, the box isn't that big. But Fiat sells a kind of "box extersor": you can even fit a motorcycle in the Crew Cab's box! But I'd rather own an Extended Cab one. That colour is called Alpine Red here, it's just a solid red. I think the Modena Red (it's on the Strada Sporting in the photo) is more attractive. Now there are some pictures for you to compare the old vs the "new" Strada.

The "extensor" looks nifty One drops the tailgate and pops that up. A bit like this certain type of load chain I've seen in some Ram's. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know how much weight the drop tailgate can handle? My old Range took 100 kilos I think, dunno about the GMT400 though.

My Strada would definetly be one of the reds shown in your photos I wish the new importer would bring these babies over. So much cooler than the Amarok and the Japs, methinks
