Its odd someone like me (spanish) ask something like this but, can anyone tell me whast the difference between a Seat Marbella and a Seat Panda? |

I´m not sure, but I think that the name changed when Seat became part of Volkswagen. They kept producing old Fiat based cars for a few years after that. I think they´re also facelifted. |

I know only one exterior detail, that differs between the Panda and the Marbella and can be seen very easily, and that are the front lights. If you look on a Panda from the front, the headlights always are 100% orthogonal at the inner - an exact rectangle form. If you look at a Marbella, the lights are a little angled/bent, not orthogonal. Also, the radiator grill of the Panda is almost exactly orthogonal or at a very steep angle. The one of the Seat has an a little less steep angle. Also, the Seat's grille is smaller, and its top part belongs to the bonnet and so it is made from metal at most models. There are some more differences in the inner - the Marbella is manufactured even cheaper than the Panda. AFAIK it has only "on/off" for the front wiper and mostly no rear window wiper, while the Panda has 2 speeds for the front wiper and a rear wiper. Same goes for the ventilator and many more details. As Wikipedia says - Seat wanted to continue producing this type of car, but did do changes as minimal as possible in order not to be sued by Fiat for patent infringement.

Yes, this is a Marbella...The Carabinieri (I think equal the french Gendarmerie) never use that car, only the Panda... |

And there ain't no way that's a true 'Carabinieri' car ... if I was ever stopped by sth like that I'd crack of laughter .... |

Well, I saw Police and Carabinieri Fiat Pandas in Italy myself. It's definitely the wrong choice for chasing somebody, but could be a good selection in narrow inner city streets. The Police here - country of Thuringia, Germany - have some Opel Corsa for inner city use, too. In Hamburg, they even have a MCC Smart at the police... |

Chez nous, il n'y a pas si longtemps que nos gendarmes ne roulent plus en Renault 4... |

Actually I was saying it because the car looks very 'fake' ... the letters "Carabinieri" should be fully reflective and more spread apart (these look like a decal), there should be the full-body red strip, and the '112', as well as the specific 'EI' or 'CC' plates ... |

And isn't the colour wrong? Aren't the Italian police- and Carabinieri-cars dark blue? In 1989 I've seen the "Policia Municipale" driving around in Rome still with Fiat 500. |
