There is nothing you can do to improve the looks of that Fiat.
A chap I knew during the time that Multipla was in production was issued with one by an organisation for whom he was a contractor. He said of it that it was a functional vehicle and not unpleasant to drive, but most of all he liked driving it because it was the only place he could be sure not to be looking at it!
I always thought it was a genius interior layout. Assuming a family with 2 kids. You can take out one set of grand parents.
Given the Fiat/Alfa family of engines they could have made a sporty version to piss on the zafira VXR
We nearly bought one, only reason we didn't was we decided we needed 7 seats, so bought a Zafira. The multipla is a fantastic bit of design both inside and out, it was ruined with the facelift.

A few Multiplas had the Fiat Coupe 20v engine dropped into them. One car was made a full on track car with all the aero and a 1000bhp Corvette V8, called 1000Tipla.



But this isn't either of the modified threads. I liked the original Multipla because it was different, the facelift trying to normalise it ruined it.

Multipla was basically the family version of a McLaren F1.

yes
The similarities are there for all to see. Both have some seats, wheels, windows, an engine . . .
Just the same really.

It possibly has some shared parts? Switches, relays, etc…

That is my favourite Multipla ever, on the basis that no other version has had the ability to so effectively expedite getting the fk out of my sight.

Agree. The 'original' Multipla was unique.
Pedant alert, the original Multipla was the 600 Multipla, a tiny car shaped like a bread loaf, and not much bigger.
A Fiat 600 Multipla, many years ago the other day.
