I am also seeing plenty of Linea on the Thrissur roads now days. When
I bought it in April 09, there was only my car in that road and
everyone used to point at my car when it passed by. But now the
Lineas have increased on the roads and everytime when I go to town I
see 3/4 lineas coming from opposite direction. So whenever I see
another Linean coming from opposite direction, I flash my headlights
so as to compliment him. Some of them reciprocate the same way and
some dont understand what for it it?
But as mentione about, this car is truly a piece of Admiration even
now after 1.1/2 years of launch.
Last time while travelling I got a passenger beside me who was also
going to cochin and we were discussing about different topics and cars
came in our topic. He asked me if I owned one and I replied I have a
Linea. So I was surprised and more over shocked to learn when he asked
me if it is an imported model. I said it is Fiat Linea launced in jan
09 and he was asking me the details of Linea. After I finished
explaining, he said he has just booked a Dzire and didnt even know
about this car. If I knew that a car with so many features existed and
available at such a reasonable price I would have gone for it. He said
he has never seen the car before. I told him my car would be coming to
airport to pick me and you can see for yourself. After coming out of
the airport, we were waiting for the driver to bring the car. I was
looking the other side when this guy called me and pointing to an
oncoming car said, "That's a beautiful car, Jk". And in fact that was
my Vocal white Linea. I smiled and told him, that's the one I was
talking to you about. He was just dumb founded and his jaws dropped to
the floor. I couldnt see any expression on his face, he was so
mesmerised seeing my Linea gleaming and shining in the 100s of sodium
vapour lamps outside the airport. I broke the silence and asked him,
so what do you say? He said I really dont have any words and cant
believe that this car is under 10 lac price tag. She is dyanamite, I
m going to cancel my Dzire and try to get this one even if I dont get
my booking amount. I offered him a lift as his house was on the way,
but he said his family would be coming with a taxi to pick him.
