Love it or hate it, you can't deny that it's a rare breed on our shores.

I quite like it, mainly for the rarity factor.

Odd looking but it is a quirky thing.

I've always admired them just because they are such an odd ball car. They are pretty rare too as they didn't sell very well in Japan and certainly didn't get exported much.
I've been finding reasons to not stick a bid on it today....lol...
I'd love to own it and throw a turbo motor in it. Or just pull the crazy bits off and stick them on a wrx wagon....

For me, the shear uglyness (and hence it's rarity) is what's appealing.
It's an impreza, just not as we know it and nor would anyone else as you waft down the road in 'D'......lol.....

Fiat Multipla syndrome...
So strange, and against the status quo, it gains 'cool' status.

Look at the S201 for instance.
As ugly as hell and hardly anybody would be seen dead driving one.
Cool as **** though in my opinion and I'd love to own one.
Suppose you get impreza fans, impreza enthusiasts and then the dreaded impreza anorak.
I fear that i fall into the last group :-)

The Fiat Multipla should have been drowned at birth. Definitely not cool.
