Italian nationalism (not likely celebrated by Italians since Garibaldi) will be on full display at the upcoming Frankfurt motor show when Fiat sets up its display in the bright colors of green, white, and red (the color's of Italy's flag) to showcase its latest and greatest lineup.

Riding high on a tide of consumer hype and media glow, the once beleaguered auto giant is set to show off the successful new 500 (in the saintly white section) and the sports-centric Abarth line that will include the much-discussed Punto Abarth SS (in the devil red section).

And on the (eco.) green side (literally), Fiat will show off the Panda Aria - a hatchback that will produce "unprecedented" low-levels of greenhouse gas emissions - 69g/km of CO2.
