Scoop

Fiat are well-advanced with their coupe version of the 131. Destined to take over from the faithful but aged 124 Sport Coupe, the 131 follows the pattern laid down by the Fiat 128 3P - high roofline and long cabin for maximum room and practicality. The car is a hatchback, of course. Release is likely to be next year
