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 ;-)

Jkross22 When I think about products that I buy that are of the highest quality or are of great value, I have no idea if they are made as a whole or in parts by unionized employees. As a customer, that's really all I care about. When I think about services I receive from unionized and non-unionized employees, it varies from C- to F levels of service. Will unionizing make the cars better or worse?
Namesakeone I think it's the age old conundrum: Every company (or industry) wants every other one to pay its workers well; well-paid workers make great customers. But nobody wants to pay their own workers well; that would eat into profits. So instead of what Henry Ford (the first) did over a century ago, we will have a lot of companies copying Nike in the 1980s: third-world employees (with a few highly-paid celebrity athlete endorsers) selling overpriced products to upper-middle-class Americans (with a few urban street youths willing to literally kill for that product), until there are no more upper-middle-class Americans left.
ToolGuy I was challenged by Tim's incisive opinion, but thankfully Jeff's multiple vanilla truisms have set me straight. Or something. 😉
ChristianWimmer The body kit modifications ruined it for me.
ToolGuy "I have my stance -- I won't prejudice the commentariat by sharing it."• Like Tim, I have my opinion and it is perfect and above reproach (as long as I keep it to myself). I would hate to share it with the world and risk having someone critique it. LOL.
