When it first entered production as a replacement for the successful but ageing Tipo model, the Fiat Bravo had a dual identity. The Bravo was also known as the Brava though there was a distinction between the two models – the Fiat Bravo was a three-door hatchback, whereas the Brava was a five-door hatchback. Production of the Fiat Bravo ran from 1995-2001 and this small family car was an instant hit, claiming the European Car of the Year title on its launch. There was a makeover of the design in 1999 before the Fiat Bravo was phased out and replaced by the Stilo in 2001. However, in 2007 the Fiat Bravo re-entered production this time dropping the Brava name completely.
