The image I grabbed might be a rendering, but yes, it IS real and it looks like that: New 2014 FIAT 500L | Appealing Design and Functionality | FIAT USA
I saw one of these at the car show back in March, it really is NOT attractive - but then to my eye neither is the Countryman they copied from....still, it looks cheaply made and even tho it will have the turbo motor as stock, I'm not impressed with it.
There is even a bigger uglier one called the 7 seat 500L Living.... It's stretched 8" longer than the 500L...
Yeah that roof doesn't look very durable, especially in the front. Does not look safe at all, in case of a rollover...my first thought when I looked at this Thing
It looks like the FIAT car company may have a drug problem because: 1. Someone was high when they created that. 2. Someone was wasted when they approved that 3. Someone was blind when they asked to add more seats.

I might be able to stomach the 2-door 500 (especially the Abarth), and the 4-door isn't entirely awful, but holy hell that 7 passenger monstrosity is hideous. I know we're on a MINI forum and this is an echo chamber, but I really don't see how anyone can find them nearly as appealing as a MINI.
I don't understand why anyone would buy a Fiat after all. But that damn thing is so ugly, you'd have to sneak up on it to get it!
Passed a Chrysler dealer and one of those things was up on an elevated stand...I nearly rear ended the poor guy in the beetle in front of me cuz I was blown away by the sheer uglyness of it
