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.

Apparently it's a great car to be inside of. It's everybody else's problem.

How does the hood even open on that thing?

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

I heard they where also one of the safest cars to be in during a frontal collision.

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

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

6 seats and great visibility, huge storage, great fuel economy. 12 year run and they sold over 400,000 of them.

Now we can only buy SUV gorbage.

What about this one :

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.

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

[–] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] moodoovoodoo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

They sold over 400,000 over 12 years.

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 2 weeks ago

I would drive this so ironically.

[–] 1stQ@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Anyone remember the ad with Michael Schumacher?

[–] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'd buy one, for 50. Gotta haggle it down.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.)

[–] rangber@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

I would drive this unironically if it's a reliable car for cheap.
