The FIAT Panda debuted in early 1980 and remained in production until 2003, entering the 21st century as a popular car. Its history was challenging: pre-production prototypes were destroyed, journalists likened its design to a shoebox, and Giorgetto Giugiaro gave lectures explaining the design concepts behind the car. Although its initial mega-practicality diminished through various updates, the car won public affection and sold 4.5 million units worldwide. What was this car like in 1980? How did it compare to its competitors? What changed during the updates? What did the automotive press say about it in the 1980s and 1990s? Could it have become a "people's car" in the USSR? We delve into old magazines to explore episodes of automotive history.
