Doesn't beat the gross experience of seeing a cybertruck on the road. I wanna point and laugh every time. The multipla is cute in comparison. Look at this goofy lil guy <3
Would always prefer this reasonable priced vehicle with european safety measures over the ridiculously overpriced, rusty garbage container cutting fingers off or trapping people inside because of an update on a hot summer day.
I have owned two FIATs and a Lancia (FIAT Group) Delta. The Lancia was the funnest car I've ever owned. It chomped my Golf GTI any day. Road handling was a dream, equipment was amazing, things like stock Recaro seats, etc. That said, I will never own a FIAT again. FIAT is Stellantis: FIAT, Peugeot, Chrysler, Citroen... Amazing impulse buys. Sweet cars new, but they age horrendously.
They are designed to fail in the short term. Amazing innovations, power oriented engines, but just too flimsy.
The Multipla is a great concept executed the FIAT way.
I believe Honda had a 6 seater subcompact. The CHR or CRV? I can't remember. I'd pick the Honda any day.
The MKII had much better styling, BTW
I've rebuilt two FIAT engines. An engineer's wet dream. A 1,20L that output nearly a 100 HP? yes, but a shitload of compromises. the fucking head was the top engine support!!! Fuck FIAT.I must admit that the 900 was simpler than a scooter's engine. You could probably work on it with a Leatherman and some duct tape, but I have owned motorcycles with 3X the power output. I've driven some Cinquecentos. Opening the hood/bonnet has given me PTSD.
It looks like a car carrying its little car friend on its back.
The Multipla is just inoffensive uggo. I'd rather have that than a PT Cruiser.
That thing looks like someone's just discovered the concept of curves and is just going hog wild with it. The cyberdumpster is still the worst for many reasons, but goddamn, the Cruiser is putting up a respectable fight.
As ugly as they are, I've never met a boring pt cruiser driver. Awful alcoholic narcissists, your basic bad bitches. Often objectively awful people, but never boring.
It's ugly in a cute sirta way. Like a pug.
This car was ahead of it's time. I love it
When will it's time be though? Because it was ugly then and it's still ugly now.
I saw a matte black one yesterday, it looked like someone had forgotten to finish painting it and just left primer on it.
Edit: this is about seeing a Tesla in the wild, realized I was unclear
I saw one plastered with advertisements on the street in working class neighborhood. I felt bad for the person who needs to drive it and keep it safe.
It's got soul which beats like 99% of vehicles on the road
I drove a Fiat Panda through the hills of Tuscany. Only let off the gas to shift and still barely broke 50 km/h. lol
I would choose the Cybertruck design over this, every time.
Yeah but the mod options are insane
I can hear that damn brake pedal already...
If that were a 60 mph bumper, I'd totally put one in front and back. Screw ugly, let's be safe.
Jeeze, I dunno…doesn’t look all that weird to me.
Google? I'm European, I've seen this on the streets. Still sometimes do. My friend had one.
I learned to drive in one (I guess the driving school got a good price on them due to the low demand lmao).
A true monstrosity of a design but the technology going under the hood and into the car itself was phenomenal for the time.
Bi-fuel engines, completely flat engine hood, wide door, lots of room inside for people and cargo. A good car.
the multipla is one of my all time favourite cars such a silly little guy!!
1294 horse power ahh tuned car
I used to drive the multipla, and I tell you what! People used to fight to sit in the front because it had 3 front seats! The 1.9jtd after tuning had 150hp so I went head on with golfs and polos. When I bought it it was “Car of the future” but the memes made it look bad.
I'm reminded of when I was blogging about brown shooters, FPSes during the era realistic graphics looked brown and dingy with subdued coloration.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do an image search of brown shooter with safesearch off. Worse than goatse hello.jpg.
The rental car agencys in Austria and Germany had a huge amount of those. They didn't sell well because of the optics, but if you needed a replacement car because yours broke down, they were awesome and always in stock.
Chimera ahh car
My friend had one, we been in holidays with it. Not look nice but is a very smart car: not huge outside but very big inside, 3+3 seats, big windows, higher then the most of other cars at that time. Be in the rear seats of an Audi Q8 feel like a jail, compared to the Multipla.
Still better than cybertruck
Bing it instead
Never heard of Fiat Duna?
Meh, that's just a box like the old Tipo, Panda, Regatta, Ducato and pretty much all other Fiat's from the 80s/90s
AFAIK the Duna is the most hated FIAT car here in Italy.
Ahah correct! Each time an Italian hears about an "ugly car" the Duna is the first thing that comes to their mind. It must be wired in our brains.
Not as ugly as the Nissan Juke
