If I had kept my fiat panda active I was hoping to make it look like a 100hp. Luckily my Mum's Forfour came about :p. I thought the panda looked lovely. The fiat Multipla wasn't the best looker but at least the ugliness was to add function (new ones look like a normal MPV though). Renault cars are ugly for no reason... please... don't shake that ass.

Nothing is as ugly as the Fiat Multipla.

The elephant man was more attractive than the Fiat Multipla... WORST CAR DESIGN EVER.  Although they almost beat it with the new Panda.



And whats wrong with the Multipla? ;)

Anyhoos the Panda is a funky car :p

What's right with the Multipla?

Agreed...and the picture that JJ posted was of the first Multipla in the 60's.
I think the 'objection' to the Multipla was based on the bug eyed/frog like one...
BUT....who'd a thought that there are those out there that love them....and that
would want to modify them ! ! !  Ya gotta believe it.....


(looks a bit like Flipper on wheels...LOL)

Or...

its not a 4x4, its a compact crossover! i worked at a volvo/nissan dealer in harrogate and i had the pleasure of driving a couple and i have to say its nice to drive and nice to look through the windscreen and over the bonnet, but its still ugly to look at!

I think those shots are photoshops JJ CrazyG (sorry, too much scrolling up and down)
Could be wrong but it looks like it.

I really don't understand why it was designed to look like that, the bulge under the windscreen down into the hood is just wrong.

Wow, the second one definately has a chop too - i wonder how they would manage it? The interior is so well designed and uses the space perfectly - they'd have to chop the interior up too. I'd love to see it.

I just think if they re-designed the exterior and kept the interior they would have had a stellar selling car.

If you mean this one....


It's the first original Fiat Multipla...based on a enlarged FIAT 600 !
(Which was in essence a larger FIAT 500)  Neither the 500 or 600 could take
4 full grown adults + luggage...and they were a squeeze for a family, so FIAT
entended the cabin to the front of the car and added another row of seats,
making it a 5/6 seater or a 4 seater with luggage space inside.
Engine size was still 600cc, so it wasn't much faster than a milk float !

(TBH it looks a bit like 'Jabba the Hut' [from the film Star Wars] on wheels !) LOL

The modern day equivalent (which end is which) would have to be...
the first generation Citroen Zsara Picasso...
