I think the Fiat Multipla is distinct in that it is unlovably ugly.

I can get behind the ugliness of vehicles like the Cybertruck because it just looks absurd, but the Fiat is just grotesque.

I wonder if this is because the curvature of the Multipla makes us interpret it as organic and deformed, like a teratoma; it makes us feel disgust.

The Cybertruck is overtly synthetic and brutalist. It's to be admired for its impressiveness, not its beauty.

    Looks like it was manufactured by the soviets. And oh my gosh I was hungry, but looked up teratoma, and am no longer hungry. Not safe for life. Yike.

      Lest anyone be (like me) confused at how something about a car could make you want to lose your lunch. TIL teratoma has nothing to do with cars.

      I recommend not looking at pictures.

I like the Fiat Multipla! It is cute, it looks like a beluga. De gustibus...
