    Wikipedia says it's Doblò, and reveals that besides Turkey and Brazil it's also manufactured in in Russia and Vietnam, and "in North Korea Pyonghwa Motors produces Doblò branded as its own name Ppeokkugi." The triple crown of Stalinist autopower! Doblò should dominate the die-hard communist USA small business owner market.

    Also, the Doblò is supposedly the basis for Chrysler's first all-electric vehicle, in 2012. (RIP, Dodge Circuit EV Lotus remake.)

    Looks like the side is large enough to spray paint "FREE CANDY", though.

    I don't care if truly functional vehicles, the Honda Element springs to mind, are hideous, as long as they're not Aztek-level hideous.

    The roof-top tent couldn't help the Aztek, even if it were filled with willing, creative virgins who brought good food/booze and lotsa money.

    This isn't any worse looking than the xB or beaten-with-a-stick Cube. The French make some pretty unsightly microvans, too. And we all know this improves on the Multipla.

    I don't think it's ugly. It's certainly better looking than, lets say, the Honda Element. My concern, however, will be reliability.

    Based on what I hear from family in Europe Fiat isn't known for reliability. That certainly wont be a good thing for Chrysler.

    If you think that's ugly, you need to find some better role models.

    I think it looks awesome especially in red. Next step is an Abarth version. I'd want it to be used by a bakery delivery service so it can be their own hi-po bread van.

    Oh it's not that ugly. It's not boring, either. And that grille is the perfect shape and size for a Ram crosshair.

    I like it. But I just don't see it as a Ram van.

    Which raises the question--at what point does a namebrand continuance stop making sense? Shouldn't they just come up with a new name, rather than use an existing one that is supposed to convey power? In a sub-100hp van?

    I thought the headline said "Fat Doblo"--which sounds like a character in a film noir.
    Now I see it really IS a Fat Doblo. That ass belongs on Sponge Bob.

    Thank God the American taxpayer bailed out Chrysler so we can get our Turkish-built Italian minivans.

    @Alfisted: um, last time i checked the Transit is made in Turkey.
    so bailouts are apparently irrelevant to this discussion.

    It's not a crash if there was no physical contact with another object. This was a spinout.

    I wish I could get Massa and Alonso to give me a push when I need one. Do you have any idea how expensive FIAT starters are? #ferraricalifornia
