Maybe three companies who know they are mostly irrelevant, but still have a $gabillion in sales, might just choose to throw out the automaker rule book and come up with something truly unique. I mean, they can't do worse than Tesla's truck, right? Case in point, the Fiat Multipla: If Fiat and Chrysler wanna combine their crumby companies into a bigger, yet still crumby company, then get another equally crumby company in on the action, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. What sinks faster? Three sinking ships on their lonesome or three sinking ships lashed together?
That's a Pontiac, tho. They paid for their sins by being strangled by the Invisible Hand. They aren't among the players being discussed in this three cornered nightmare of Nissan/Chrysler/Fiat. Regardless, the straw poll I used to do in casual conversation was "ugliest car ever - Pontiac Aztek or Honda Element?" and after about a year I stopped because nobody ever voted for the Aztek. We remember the Aztek as the most bafflingly ugly vehicle imaginable yet things got so much ridiculously worse that we're just kinda like "yep. Bentley is making a $200k Jeep Wagoneer."
