will the real fiat multipla please stand up

Hours after I longed for a return of the Fiat Multipla, Fiat delivered. The 500L Living will be a true MPV, carrying seven. The last Multipla only carried six. It will be a bit longer than our 500L and have the option of a 0.9L TwinAir engine, two diesels or a naturally aspirated 1.4L gasoline engine making 95 horsepower. I’ll pass. It’s not ugly enough to stoke my boiler. But it’s not coming to North America anyways.

What a cool looking thing. Fiat, listen, all 10 of us wagon owners with 3 pedals would love to have this type of thing. Stick an auto in it for the masses, but make it a special order option for a stick and price it like a CX5, and in 2 yrs, I'll be in line. I'll even do Euro delivery, as there wouldn't be a better excuse for an Italian vacation. But please call MB and see if you can get a hold of their 2.1L Diesel they're sticking in the GLK. I've heard that it's a beast and gets schwing inducing mileage. The Mini Countryman was a good idea, but the design isn't nearly as appealing as what you folks at Fiat made with this. Giddy up!

  I don't really think Fiat needs any help from Mercedes as to diesels.

  @Marcelo de Vasconcellos Considering Fiat invented the common rail, I would think Merc when to Fiat for that 2.1 ;-)

Kcflyer on one hand it at least wont have dirty intake valves like Honda's entire lineup of direct injection ice vehicles. on the other hand a CRV offers more room, more range, faster fueling and lower price, hmm
Tassos BTW I thought this silly thing was always called the "Wienermobile".
Tassos I have a first cousin with same first and last name as my own, 17 years my junior even tho he is the son of my father's older brother, who has a summer home in the same country I do, and has bought a local A3 5-door hatch kinds thing, quite old by now.Last year he told me the thing broke down and he had to do major major repairs, replace the whole engine and other stuff, and had to rent a car for two weeks in a touristy location, and amazingly he paid more for the rental ( Euro1,500, or $1,650-$1,700) than for all the repairs, which of course were not done at the dealer (I doubt there was a dealer there anyway)
Tassos VW's EV program losses have already been horrific, and with (guess, Caveman!) the Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory growing by leaps and bounds, the future was already quite grim for VW and the VW Group.THis shutdown will not be so temporary.The German Government may have to reach in its deep pockets, no matter how much it hates to spend $, and bail it out."too big to fail"?
Billccm I had a 1980 TC3 Horizon and that car was as reliable as the sun. Underappreciated for sure.
