FactSpain got its own version of the first Fiorino, sold as the Emelba 127 Poker, with its own design studio and its own pickup body nobody else had.
Originally called the Fiat 127 Fiorino, the first-generation Fiorino (Codeproject Type 147) was based on the Series 2 Fiat 127 with a van box at the back. It was built at Mirafiori, Turin, Italy and at Betim, Brazil (as the Fiat 147 Pick-Up/City), in Córdoba, Argentina until 1995, and in Catalonia, Spain as the Emelba 127 Poker. The petrol engines ranged from a 903 cc OHV unit to 1049 cc, 1297 cc, 1301 cc and 1372 cc OHC units, alongside a 1301 cc diesel, with different compression levels giving numerous outputs from 26 to 44 kW (35 to 59 hp) depending on the country of sale.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
This van's own badge-engineered sibling, the Citroën Nemo, rolled over during a routine evasive-manoeuvre test in Germany in 2010 — its tall, short-wheelbase shape was the cause, and stability control wasn't even offered to prevent it.
In 1989 the Brazilian-built Fiorino became the test bed for Fiat's new 1.5-litre take on its long-running Fiasa engine — the very first vehicle to get it.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
