Fiat Panda

One of the greatest delights of the IAA was found at the Fiat stand. The new Panda was a joy to behold and one of the best concepts shown this year. A classic example of taking a theme and applying it all throughout the car was seen in the new Panda, the theme being a Squircle, a squished rounded square. The motif is used everywhere from the headlamps, to the AC vents, right up to the seat height adjustor. Apart from that there were endearing touches like the door trim texture made up of a repeating 'Panda' pattern. This one truly brought a smile to everyones face !
