EDIT: OK, I give up - this movie was released in January(!) 2000, this way I don't have idea how to explain that so many 2000 cars have old badge... Anyway still it was not replaced before MY 2000. -- Last edit: 2018-08-21 23:46:21

Then December 2000 more tweaking - 2.0 litre models went to 150 bhp, most models got body colour side strips, front fogs, headlight wash/wipe and various cabin trinkets. This one has side strips but no fogs or wash/wipe.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2018-08-22 16:06	After March and May, in July 1999 cover of British brochure looked this way: Link to "www.ebay.com" (still old badge) Italian wiki says badge was changed in Mareas in 2000 https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Marea 3-star role of this car and pics taken in Alfa dealer perhaps mean this movie was made in cooperation with FIAT, maybe it is some specially prepared car to promote Fiat's new logo in this film (the logo of course already existed in summer 1999 in new Punto II). -- Last edit: 2018-08-22 16:11:46
