FIAT and BMW to share platforms



Fiat's CEO Sergio Marchionnne had revealed that there will be a new platform sharing partnership to be announce soon. Further probes into suppliers had revealed that Fiat is talking to BMW on future plans of platform sharing where the underpinnings of the third generation Mini would be also utilized by Punto.

For us at Wheels Weekly, any platform sharing is good news, as it would only mean one thing - Economies of scale, bringing cost savings right back to consumer's pockets.
