Is there anything more ridiculous that the Fiat 500L?

[miniman]

Oh. Yes. Yes, there is.

[kambites]

Quite a lot of things, most of which have "MINI" badges on them.

[mybrainhurts]

Whoever designs stuff like this must be on notice...

[Jim AK]

Mini Clubman, Countryman, Paceman, Coupe. Golf Plus, that top heavy Fiesta Fusion thing from early 2000s, Sing Song Rodius, Merc CLA saloon.

This thread will probably run & run!

I see your MPW and I raise you the...


2014MY apparently!

[Spyder5]

Calling this a Mini is ridiculous

[fathomfive]

SEAT Altea Freetrack.

Renault Koleos.

Ford Fusion.

The majority of folding metal roof convertibles.

MINI Countryman.

And many, many more.

What the jittery fk is an MPW.

[kambites]

The Rodius isn't ridiculous at all; ugly, certainly, and no-one could call it a PHer's car but it's extremely practical and very cheap for what it is. It's vastly more sensible than things like the X6.

I understand that they originally design the cars out of clay.

I'm thinking they made the 500 out of playdoh and stretched it as far as it would go.

This is what you get when you chose a career in marketing. No engineer would decide to do this.

I saw one, for the first time in the works car park yesterday, it was a tragic looking thing and I really question why anyone would buy one of those 500L things, what a total mess.

No, a Mini Ridiculous is a very apt name...

It looks worse in the flesh, a truly tragic vehicle

Probably a typo. But it was too late too change the adverts so they went along with it.

Massive Penis Wagon? Lets face it, you need big balls to drive one of these and still feel masculine, and this coming from me who drives a hairdressers car!

[sparkyhx]

pretty much everything Fiat produce at the moment except for the small 500 is hideous.

although the ssangyong odious trumps everything

[martinnitram]

What is that ? Ssanyong ?, its a disgusting looking blob. Make a nice motability hack for someone, at least it will get a battering for 3 years, hopefully shortening its life and getting it ground up and recycled back into a compost bin asap.

[kambites]

That version of the Rodius is a damned slight less ugly than the previous generation.

[hondansx]

The bizarre thing is i'm seeing tons of these 500Ls on the road! Either the marketing works, or they are too cheap to ignore for young families, in the same mould as the Citroen Picasso, i.e. 'the egg'.
