WTF?! Saw it few days ago in a Italian offload magazine. Delivery 2015! I really hope it's a joke, or Italian only version!

Looks like a J8. Has the same bumper, hood, and leaf springs in the rear.

I call bs. Notice only one windshield wiper is actually attached unless there is some sort of raised hood.

The wiper is ok, the mount is hidden behind the hood bulge.

The thing that makes me call bs is the fiat logo in middle is darker than rest of front end and isnt squared up with slots, it was added in by photoagrapher

I like the integrated lights in the front fenders. Grill has gotta go though.

Fiat did it before with the Suzuki SX4 (Sudici I think) and are now doing it with most of the Chrysler vehicles. Suzuki has the Equator from Nissan. Chevy was doing it for decades (Suzuki = Geo) with Pontiac and Holden and are doing it with the Cruze. Ford did it between model lines for decades but I think they have Ironed out after they dropped Mazda.

Unless this was a troll, most auto manufacturers do this... Look up Badge Engineering on Wikipedia.
