  Fiat Idea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fiat Idea is a mini MPV built by the Italian manufacturer Fiat since 2004.
The Idea is exported in two different levels (the ELX with the 1.4-litre engine and the HLX with the 1.8 engine) and it has four airbags, ABS brakes with EBD; parking, rain and lights sensor, security laminated glass, the SkyDome, 15" alloys, bluetooth phone system, and leather seats among other features.
Also, Fiat in Brazil are conducting test to the Fiat Sedici, model not likely to be made in South America, but its all-wheel drive could be used in a 4x4 Idea Adventure that could be launched in mid 2007.

Fiat Idea paraded in the course of the Roman high fashion event (25-29 January), at the new Auditorium-Music Park designed by Renzo Piano.

The same characteristics can be appreciated in Fiat Idea: a smart-looking car, with pure lines, a spacious and functional cockpit designed to meet the most diverse requirements in terms of capacity without sacrificing sparkling performance and dynamism.

 "Reflexive Fiat: Incorporating The Outward Activist Turn into Contest Strategy"
The idea of the counterplan was the fact that since Texas’ evidence suggested that the only thing necessary to solve the advantage was that a "hole be poked in the panoptic screen," an academic study would constitute a sufficient poke.
Fourth, the authority to propose courses of action using reflexive fiat does not flow from the resolution, but is instead pragmatically grounded in the physical presence of advocates, underwritten by evidence of the advocate’s speechmaking capabilities and proof of mobilization potential.
Because reflexive fiat discards the notion of fiat as simulation, and instead views fiat as a concrete course of action, it is bounded by the limits of pragmatism, and utopian examples can be challenged effectively on such grounds.

 irishcar.com - Fiat Idea review
The Idea (pronounced id-ay-ah) is aimed at what is becoming the fastest-growing part of the MPV niche, itself one of the fastest-growing in the whole car scene.
Idea is a good-looking car, one of those where the proportions and the angles seem to have come together in a very sound way.
It is the very cab-forward style of the windscreen which I think gives the Idea much of its stylistic attraction, almost in a continuous line with the bonnet.

Fiat Idea could not better it in these areas, but in the end it is actually the better car here and even the most outstanding MPV since Fiat’s own Multipla and Renault Scenic II.
