Ah, the Fiat Multipla. Americans may think the Aztek or PT Cruiser are ugly, but those are elegant next to the Multipla. In Europe You don't lock Your garage, so that nobody steals Your car. You lock it so that nobody sneeks in a Multipla.
PS I also heard it's roomy, comfortable and practical.
You sure some bean-pusher didn't just find a few CAD files of previous models, think to themselves, 'This is easy, we can save money by not having designers' then just merged the files without reviewing them and pushed it down the pipe?
The Multipla is likeky the ugliest car ever made, at the same time it is one of the greatest designs ever made. How? Because it was an incredibly functional and innovative car, which is also why it sold despite its looks. It's exterior was not bolted on, it was part of why the interior could work. The car was never designed for the compensating crowd so did not need to impress anyone.
The fat roll absolutely was a bolted on choice, since the mid-life redesign eliminated it. That being said I love the 3-abreast seating, it's a shame we dont get more cars like it.
Something as unique was hardly "bolted on". It would have been easier to just go with the ordinary. The mid-life redesign kept most of it intact, it merely did away with that "unique" flat hood , going for a less noteworthy more streamlined curve.
Explanation : 2 French YouTuber put an insane amount of money into making the most powerful multipla ever.
I never watched any of their video but I love the result.
Y'all really park way up on the sidewalk like that? Talk about car culture, that's really crippist when it's already hard to get along in a wheelchair.
(I just noticed the probably-a-tree blocking the sidewalk as well. That doesn't make it better.)

3 seats in the front! The Honda FR-V had 3+3 seating and it looked good too.

How does the hood even open on that thing?

Okay, I see

I must admit. With a nice coat of paint, leather interior and a set of big rims it still looks like shit

And somehow, an entire team of engineers gave the approval to make a car that looks like a sorry imitation of a double decker

I think you mean a team of engineers had to make all the actual car bits work inside of that thing that some designer drew and business approved.

And that's why you never add a drinking game to a decision process.

I would drive this unironically if it's a reliable car for cheap.
lath@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 14h
I'd buy one, for 50. Gotta haggle it down.

I would drive this so ironically.
