Panda COTY award presented

20 January 2004: Herbert Demel, CEO of Fiat Auto, collected the trophy yesterday for the European Car of the Year 2004 which a jury of 58 trade journalists from 22 European countries awarded to the Fiat Panda.

It was the first time that a superminin won the award.

Accepting the award, he said the prize goes 'not just to a car, but to a great tradition based on over 100 years of history, in which the evolution of the car and of mobility has always been closely intertwined with the history of Fiat and its products'.

Success with the critics has since been confirmed by over 130,000 orders which have been received since the launch.
