I'm mad that this is weird and the Fiat Multipla is normal.

it looks retro batman sexy but not practical. the glass doom roof would roast you and slice you and crush you. the low slung seats would wreck your back. the heavy sliding doors would trap the driver from a minor accident, or would slice you up from a sideswipe. the giant front tits would ruin your view and your dreams of finding a parking spot.

People nowadays drive crossovers that are literally worse than the cars they are based on in every single objective way.

Practicality has never mattered for cars, I want a 2 ton road boat that looks like a spaceship.

I'm severely disappointed that this thing doesn't actually have dual rocket engines in the back...
