Paws for thought

FIAT has withdrawn the Panda 4x4. Are they due to replace it soon? If not, are there any small 4x4's you could recommend? I spend all winter in the Alps in the present Panda is fantastic in snow.

FIAT launched a new Panda at Geneva, but no 4x4 yet. Maybe something a bit bigger, like a Toyota Urban Cruiser 1.4 D-4D 4WD, a Suzuki SX4 SZ5 1.6i or 2.0 diesel 4WD. (Sorry about the complicated model names.)

Impressively capable off road and in snow. Chunky looks. As practical as the standard Panda. Good quality and easy to use interior.
