Even Edmunds.com's professional writers who do their "First Drive" articles called the 500L "less sexy" than the coupe. But gave it good reviews on fun to drive, etc.
Nope for that money I'd buy the Subaru BRZ. THAT sounds pretty cool to me.
Even a Nissan Altima is a better looking car for under 25K than the Pumpkinmobile.
Why would you even bother comparing a two-door coupe (with highly questionable reliability) and a four-door family mover? Do you not get that your definition of cool and good-looking is not universal?
Your repeated allusions to pumpkins make me believe there's some deep-seated childhood trauma. But it sounds silly.
I think yall missed the point of the thread. Car makers screw up and make ugly cars, it happens. It's usually when they have high demand and they don't think out the product before releasing it. I can go on and on about which car is better than which car, my question was since Fiat (which I have always liked and respected) built a bland, weirdly shaped car that won't work for mainstream, has it hurt their image as being a Cool, Hipster, Gas-Sipping car company?
No, we didn't. Your opinion that FIAT "screwed up" is just that - an opinion. You're presenting it as fact.

With that in mind, could you see yourself actually driving one of these?
If I wasn't working for a competitor - absolutely.
This thread isn't about the 500L, it's about the 500 wagon
...that doesn't exist. Seriously, you're going to tell the OP what to post about and what not to post about? Though I don't agree with his viewpoint, that's a bit rich.
The beauty of opinion forums is that they allow for debates, if you don't like my opinions on the matter, it's very easy to close your eyes and stop reading.
Cars.com customer reviews has Fiat 500L as a 4.7 out of 5. Everyone raves about how fun the car is to drive. My question is, image doesn't seem to matter with the owners of this vehicle, they love it for it's "fun to drive" characteristics. Has this car become more about function and less about image?
No, we didn't. Your opinion that FIAT "screwed up" is just that - an opinion. You're presenting it as fact.If I wasn't working for a competitor - absolutely.
Here's some more professional opinions for you, not fact... Highly subjective.
I agree with a number of their choices of ugly cars, especially the one at number one, the BMW 5 Series GT.
Has it ruined their image?
I don't think so, and neither has this four door 500 ruined Fiat's, especially as it doesn't even exist!
