The styling of Fiat’s new 500 L could be best described as lugubrious, befitting the tradition of Italian sedans not comparing to their coupe sisters in the beauty department. But while the car as a whole appears passable, its headlamp, viewed alone, takes the cake in being over-styled and looking like something the queen alien may have deposited in an unsuspecting host’s abdomen.

;P
This photo is another ever-present reminder how much I dislike plastic.
Actually, in person, is a pretty nice car. And obviously, you have to compare it to similar cars, like the Ford B-Max, the Citroen C3 Picasso and the MINI Countryman.
Yeah I don't mind it's Euro kinda-quirky-kinda-awkward-ness.
These will be nice to see on the road, as they are a nice break from the dreary sea of beige out there.
There was one on display at the Dallas Auto Show last month. Ug.Ly.
OT: RIP George Jones. 🙁

People were thinking giant squid eye, but apparently it's from a swordfish.
