How do you open up a bonnet of a car from the outside?
Depends on the car. Some you can reach up behind the bumper and trip the release. If the cable is broken inside, you may be able to reach it as it comes from the latch and pull on the housing enough to release it. Some you can go through the grill and remove the bolts holding the latch to the radiator support.

How do you open a hood with a broken latch cable on a 1997 Dodge Intrepid?
i have a 1994 pnotiac sunbird that the handle broke off on the cable under the dash to open the hood. you can open the hood with a little patience and a fairly long screwdriver by releasing the latch under the hood. after this, on my sunbird, i just pulled the cable all the way out under the hood, tied it under the front of the car, and just pull it to release the switch. (thats only because i am too cheap and lazy to spend the money and time on a cable and install it.)

How do you open a bonnet on a Fiat Palio Go 2006 when the latch is broken?
The latch is broken, not the cable. You can still get to the cable where it is attached to the latch in the foot-well of the car. Grab the cable with a small vice-grip (or similar) and pull. Note that it is very unlikely the cable will break -the latch typically breaks before the cable since the latch is made from plastic and the cable from steel wire.

If it is just the inside handle broken off you can pull the cable with a pair of pliers. If it is in the middle, you should be able to reach up from underneath and cut the cable and then pull the inside cable. If the latch end has pulled off, you may be able to trip the latch from underneath, or take the grill out and unbolt the latch.
