Fiat 500L

WTF is this hunka junk? Saw one in the parking lot today as I left the pizza place. Almost lost my lunch.

I thought the Mini SUV was bad...now they throw THIS monstrosity at us?

They are appealing to people's stupidity. Hit something with that and all the airbags in the world won't save you.

I agree, it is as ugly as the regular 500 is beautiful. Not Pontiac Aztec ugly but definitely not much of a looker. Still, it'll probably sell nicely...Hopefully, it will sell nicely enough that another Italian producer...Alfa....will start importing cars to the states soon.

At First, this car can swim across the ocean, ha ha..

and second, look at the bright side, you could be buying the "green thing" behind it... what is that anyway? it looks like 1/2 size of 500

They are not designing these things for people like us. We are seeing the appliance of the future.

Any Camry owners here? (Crickets)...I rest my case.

It will sell, for sure...and be popular, I would think. For $23k base and a turbo motor with their "Six-Speed Euro Twin Clutch Transmission with AutoStick Feature" it will be an urban small family rig.
I wish the 6 spd auto was available when I bought my Abarth.

Fugly. It's what happens when you try to make a derivative model that still looks the same as the original. Mini has the same issue, trying to make a multitude of sedan and SUV derivatives still look like a Mini.

It's not beautiful but you can do worse. At least you can get a proper manual transmission in it.
