Ford has it over Fiat.
Ford Focus ST

Fiat Multipla
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/tjlaven/fiat_multipla2.jpg)
How I wish that version of the Focus was available in the U.S.
-
Multipla is the ugliest car ever made, no doubt.
I find new Bravo prettier than Focus ST, but that's just imo of course.

The front end of the newest Renault Clio sport is pretty nice too. I'll try and catch one.

the only good looking Ford I know of

and I'll say something else, now that you brought the subject up....
domestic and foregin car manufactors havent sold an original car in years...they all look alike, made from plastic and aluminum, most of them are down right ugly or worse, almost impossible to maintain without an engineering degree and tech manuals. As soon as someone makes something that might appear a little different, everybody rushes out and makes a copy. They killed the station wagon, and replaced it with the SUV... now there are "Cross-overs" gee they kinda look like....Station Wagons.... whatever .....

I have a beat up, rusty looking, leaking windshield, door sticks, tail gate is jammed '87 Toyota pickup with well over 200,000 miles on it that we know of...
But, I can take the entire engine apart with a 10mm & 12mm socket, flat head & phillips screwdriver, and a hammer (ofr those parts that want to stick). And I am far from an engineer (my degree is in business) but I can change any part of this engine that goes bad in my back yard.
My wife's '99 Dodge Stratus, I can change the plugs and wires, give it an oil change, change the air filter and the head lights. Anything else and you almost have to drop the engine from the car to work on it. I've given people jump starts with 2006 and 2007 model cars and I couldn't identify half the parts under the hood on some of them.
The car companies are in cohoots with mechanics. They want to make it so you cannot work on your own car in your own backyard. Pretty soon, they'll come up with a way you have to take your car to the mechanic to do something as simple as change the oil.

The Multipla looks like it sneezed while holding it's nose and mouth closed.

C'mon now!!! Todays cars don't use voodoo to run. If you feel comfortable working on your Toyota, and are competent enough to use a PC, a meter, and/or a scan tool, then you shouldn't have trouble working on a new car. Is it maybe you don't want to invest the money on the proper tools and manuals?:noid
