The technology will be applied to all Fiat engines within a very few years. This is why I am waiting for the 500 twin with 110bhp and 50+ mpg, and 50% lower emissions over the current 1.2 lump. There will be a 0.7 litre version by the way, with 81bhp and even better consumption and emissions. The 110 version will be applied to the Grande Punto, the Bravo and much else besides. The same technology, applied to diesels, will produce similar efficiency improvements. My guess is that the Ford Ka, to be a 500 in drag, will be a good little drive and have good little Fiat engines too, but Fiat has refused to permit Ford to use its Multiair technology, and THIS will be the advantage the Fiat version will have. I'm waiting two years until the new engines hit the market. Yes, and the upcoming 2008 Alfa Junior is rumoured to be the first with it.
