Fiat Monster Cross



No, it's not a bamboo-chewing, black-and-white bear but a rugged, limited-edition, 4x4 version of Fiat's Panda minicar and it's just been launched at the Bologna auto show in Italy.

It's called the Panda Monster Cross, only 620 (you'll see the reason for the number just now) and it's to be marketed with an approach usually adopted for luxury automobiles.

If you're aware of Fiat's close ties with the Ducati motorcycle brand, you'll understand the connection between the name "Monster" and "620" - Monster is the name of a special Ducati and 620cc is its engine capacity.
