The Fiat Bravo (Type 198) is a small family car produced by Italian manufacturer Fiat since 2007. It was introduced to the press in January 2007 in Rome, and later to the public in March at the Geneva Motor Show. European production at the Cassino plant ended in July 2014, being part of FCA's ''5–Year Plan'', presented by Sergio Marchionne on May 7, 2014. However, no direct replacement was launched. It was the first car to bear Fiat Automobiles' current logo, introduced in October 2006, which contains a red background in a chrome frame. ==History== The car was designed at Centro Stile Fiat, while Austrian automotive company Magna Steyr engineered a large amount of the car's body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Body development: Fiat Bravo )〕 CAD engineering and computer simulations were used on a very large scale with this model and the design was finished to a very tight schedule. For EMEA markets the Bravo was produced in Fiat's Piedimonte S. Germano plant. Blue&Me is a new feature first introduced with the Fiat Grande Punto and is fitted as standard on the Bravo Dynamic and Sport. Developed with Microsoft, this system offers Bluetooth hands-free use with a mobile phone. It is also capable of displaying SMS text on the dash screen and it has built-in voice activation. Another part of the system is the inclusion of a USB connector so that an MP3 player or USB flashcard can be plugged in, giving the car's entertainment system access to MP3 files stored on the unit. In Australia, the Fiat Bravo was sold as the Fiat Ritmo since Mazda Australia owns rights to the "Bravo" name (as used on a commercial vehicle). It was introduced there in February 2008, however, it was discontinued the following year, due to slow sales - only 463 units were sold in total. The Bravo is also being built in Brazil since 2010, and is being sold there and throughout South America (with the exception of Argentina, Chile and Colombia, who receive the Bravo from Italy). In January 2007, ''What Car?'' reported that Fiat were working on an station wagon variant, set to be titled the ''Bravo MultiWagon'', which was an very production ready version of the Bravo that, however, never made it to production. Other sources say, that this was actually the facelifted Fiat Croma, launched in October 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fiat Bravo (2007)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
