Miscellaneous
Interview with Loic Caperan, VP of Fiat
Some days ago
companies Autocommerce and Avto Triglav hosted eminent visitors from
Italy. For the first time dr. Loic Caperan, vicepresident of the Board of
Directors, responsible for marketing and sales visited Slovenia.
Businessmen discussed future strategy and pricing policy, while we were
interested mainly how the second man at Fiat comments Slovenian auto
market and position of Fiat globally (by B.Sambolec).
Lancia Dialogos presents future
The Italian Lancia
announced its cars of the future with the prototype Dialogos. The name
emphasises the dialogue between man and machine. This product can be
considered as a biodynamic study of a prestigious car for the next
millennium. Its interior is characterised as a living room, enabling
driving without stress. Behind a nicely styled outlook there are numerous
technical novelties, developed at Fiat Auto. So Dialogos is not only
announcement of more aggressive presence of Lancia but the proof that
entire Fiat is capable to react to the challenges of the future. (by
A.Marinic).

Alfa that combines sporting and elegance has announced new chapter of long
standing and once very famous history of automotive factory from Arese.
Attractive design comprehensing modern techniques together with wide offer
of equipment tailored to the customers' demands, title "European car of
the year 1998" and as much as 40.000 cars sold in Europe on the first
month, all these are very good announcement for future sales (by
B.Sambolec).
Its power under my control
In April I visited COSMOS
Ljubljana and I took Alfa 156 for a test ride. Overall impression: good
(not excellent), enjoyable, powerful car.
