Punto Power

I couldn't resist snapping a picture of this car — it popped off the street in vivid yellow, upstaging the lively Psiri neighborhood in Athens. Several steps up in size from the Smart, the still diminutive four-seat Fiat Punto is a common sight on European roads, but unknown in America. Taut, crisp lines delineate the abrupt shape of the jaunty little hatchback, its tall trademark taillights framing the rear window.
