The Fiat Style Center started drafting the new car, and the analysis bent if it was actually what the applicant wanted. The answers acicular out the aisle to be followed.

The result: an actually aboriginal concept, humorously called "Round Square," which guided the absolute development of the new car.

To accord it a shape, they acclimated bounds from Automated Design (industrial drawing) - instead of the acceptable attempt of Automotive Design, with its curvier, active curve - to actualize the annular curve of the new model.

Adopting the aboveboard as a reference, a car with geometrical, counterbalanced shapes was conceived.
