The Multipla was also very successful, and also happens to be one of the few Fiats that hold their value. A utility vehicle doesn't necessarily need to be attractive to be successful...
The aesthetics of the Multipla didn't look out of place in China, where it was sold as the Zotye Multiplan and
Zotye M300 Langyue.
As China's economy grew a number of American truck/van designs started looking more weird to western eyes like the Multipla than anything the likes of Dodge had previously designed. Designs target intended markets first and foremost.
