YES and enough room to sleep comfortably in! it is a from follows function desing ! they should bring it as a E-Car with that low weight it would go verry far =))
Yes, it was a fantastic cheap car. But it doesn`t change the fact, that it was pretty ugly. And not the dream car of it`s time. Like Citroen 2CV, but this looked kind of nice.
The Panda is a legend in Italy, and was much appreciated in Europe too. I think one of the UK Top Gear presenters had one, and it was praised in the show
@@dudovich13 No, it had parts and engines derived from 127 and 126, but it was a new model and platform on its own (the 124 was on the upper D-segment and rear wheel drive, and had already been succeeded by the 131 Mirafiori long before the Panda came about)
Panda is monumenral car. The perfect synthesis between form and function. ..But that was the Italian school, now it no longer makes sense. Keep useless SUVs and cell phone-like cars

Did he just say nonsense about the Panda? The Alfa Romeo Milano (Alfa Romeo 75 in the rest of the world) is a legendary car and magnificent for its intended purpose. But it's fun to hear the opinions of mentally challenged people, even if recited by a synthetic voice.
It's still ugly, also the designers must be the Yugoslavians that made the garbage Yugo and since this is a Fiat it's probably as reliable as the junk Yugo.
My cousin drove a Toyota Terccel. When she got pulled over for speeding the cop said ... "The only reason I am not giving you a speeding ticket is that no Judge would believe this piece of junk could go that fast!"
I have to disagree about four vehicles: the Cadillac Seville, the Lincoln Mark VII, the Nissan Pulsar, and the Subaru XT. They all had designs ahead of their time, especially the Subaru XT.
Dude, are we looking at the same cars? A lot of them look super cool to me. The few that don't straight look cool, even really good, or at least interesting are just Meh... Not bad looking, not good looking, just a car....
0:50 - You missed the mark with the Panda. Yes, it might not be that nice from an "American legend" point of view, but it was conceived ground up rationally and 4.5 million units sold confirm that it was not that ugly and that people loved it (and many of them regret they don't build it like that anymore). 2:36 - That's not a Brooks Stevens' Studebaker SS: it's an original 1936/39 SS Jaguar 100, the first one to bear the Jaguar brand name. 5:07 - I agree with you even though I'm Italian: the Mondial was and is an ugly car. 10.07 - The car you show at this point is not the large model you think, it is the "Giulietta" instead, ancestor of the same segment as the Milano (in Europe, model "75"), same wheelbase but a whopping eight inches shorter than the Milano. May I suggest you to focus on American cars, where you show greater expertise?
Panda was made for narrow European city roads. I lived in Greece for 16 years, in the Athens there was so many of SEAT Panda and Marbella, FIAT Cinquecento. "American Legends" you really don't know where and how these little cars are used in everyday life.
@@Irontree85 sorry, but none of your words is an argue for the claim, that the Panda is and was ugly as hell. Like the 90the Cinquecento and Seicento. Also first Renault Twingo was very practical, but ugly. Mini Cooper was small, practical but Not ugly. Citroen 2VC was cheap and practical, but not ugly... The first Smart For2 was not practical and ugly, the new version was Not practical but kind of nice. And yes, even American are able to consider European cars as ugly. It has nothing to do, for what they were made for.
They might have well been gorgeous, but as a mechcanic of the era, were a real pain in the A** to work on. Once tried to do a ring and valve job on the local chiropractor's....should have been a basic easy job, but I had to remove the engine in order to do so....NEVER again!....but, of course, if looks is your primary concern, and NOT maintenance......

So wrong about the Fiat Panda, Toyota Tercel, Subaru Alcyone/XT, Nissan Pulsar EXA/NX modular. They were designed with a simple focus and delivered on their intended purposes.
Okay, and this makes the Fiat Panda not ugly. Might the thinking behind it well, it remains being an ugly car. The Citroen 2CV or Renault R4 were cheap, simple cars to... and still looked much better!
The first generation of the Fiat Panda was a great sales success: more than 4 million units were sold in total. If it was ugly then produce ugly car to have a selling hit.
@leswillis2191 which function?? It drove and had no interior amenities. I remember, how car radios were put loose in the open ledge. Mini, 2CV, R4, R5... are examples of form followed function. But Panda or Seat Marbella were just cheap and ugly cars. They were the Dacia Logans of the 80th. Cheap, simple, no amenities
@@olmaBLN we could all drive around in the VW up or Kia Picanto then. Dynamically better than the Panda? Yes, more boring? Definitely. I had a Panda and loved it. Full of charm and I loved every minute of it.
Panda was awarded with the "Car of the year" prize, and designed by Giugiaro. It is an icon and still cited as an example of perfect mix of smart and stylish. But I understand that everything which is not as big as a Limousine may seem ugly to an american guy with the voice of AI...
Sie haben beim Fiat Panda überhaupt keine Ahnung! Es ging hier um Funktionalität zum kleinsten Preis - der Werbespruch die "tolle Kiste" ist in Europa genau wie das Auto ein Klassiker!
The Fiat Panda Mark1 was a great car. Also, I believe the video is biased against Italian cars, as the Mondial, the Biturbo and Alfa 75, were much better than some of the Opel or Ford Europe, or some of the British Leyland cars of the era. Fully agree on the US cars though, they’re unattractive across the board up until today.
First really modular car in production Coupé/shooting brake/convertible/pick-up (with T-top). Not sure about other mass production cars with a modular structure, Maybe the Citroën C3 Pluriel (city car with canvas-top/convertible/pick-up).
One of the top places for the 2000’s goes to the Ssangyong Rodius. You can just imagine Ken Greenley submitting the design at the last minute only to be told it was supposed to be an MPV instead of a sort of four door saloon. “Oh, crap”, he replied. So he tacked on what we all had to see and could never unsee again …
To be fair, the Fiat Panda is the only car in this video, which was a very cheap, reliable car, without any frills on prupose. In this video there is a car radio perfectly fitted into the front, mostly it was just placed into the open ledge. Together with the Seat Marbella it was perfect for students, social services ( like food delivery for old people ) etc. Like Romanian Dacia did during mid 00 years, when they launched the Dacia Logan into the Western European market at an extremly low price, looking ugly, spartanic equipped, while the CEO of this Romanian sister of Renault said, that "cheap" is no reason for uglyness and the styling of them changed... but also prices raised from € 6.500 to 11.300 €.
The panda was a brilliant car and a minimalistic clever design - the 4x4 was great // The S-Cargo - both a mini cargo van and a word play of the french "escargot" designing the car to look like a snail is wonderful quirky idea
The LSC was essentially on the same unibody framework, but got the same H.O. engine as the mustang. Except 84, 85 which were turbocharged like turbocoupes before they were. Also the LSC had a beefier/bigger rear axle, shaft splines, control arms, & calipers, & eventually all around disc brakes long before even the Mustang. And with any of the available Mustang or 5.0L engine upgrades you could build a serious street machine. I know I did, my brother did. He even converted his to 5 speed which now is TKO 5 speed to handle the 650HP .
Not Cimmaron, more like Cimmarunt. For people who want a Cadillac and couldn't afford one. Or for people who wanted to go all out on a fully loaded Chevrolet Cavalier but couldn't find one on Chevy lots because Chevy didn't offer highly optioned boat anchors.
Badge engineering. They wanted to make a smaller Cadillac and rather than design a whole new car they thought they could get idiots to buy one Cheverolet Cavalier for the price of two.
In the middle of the 90s my best friend had the cheaper version(!) named Marbella from Seat. One friday evening we got bored at the Standard Party in our Favorite "klub" and we drove 300km to the netherlands with real big boombox in the back and on the way back we stopped ATM the Hanomag Rave Halls in Hannover...from there on my back didnt hurt no more🤔😬
Mondial t in cabrio body - one of my fav Ferraris - looks cool, its so long and low. fiat panda is funny - great little car, especially 4x4, for tiny old village towns in Italy
The Fiat Panda was functional, reliable, inexpensive to maintain, practical and reduced to the essentials. I had two of them in succession. It was definitely not ugly.
I so miss the 80's where almost everything has a label "space age technology" and most of the time products are chromed and shiny and in some cases looked like its from another planet
My daughter drove a Cadillac Seville to high school. Very popular with the boys. And we owned a Citation. It was great for a young family at the time. I had a 73 Nova hatchback and loved the Citation for it. Jeez, what else am I gonna find on here? 😃
That Panda car looks very quintessentially basic, not ugly. It's like the Ikea of cars where it comes in a box partly assembled and you finish the rest at home.
The Excalibur was perfect 80's gauche. And the classic lines and curves were a welcome change from the predominance of "square and boxy" in the 80s. Hardly ugly.
The narraration was appropriately harsh with sharp humour and withering ridicule. Delivered flat as a punctured tire and as cold as a seized engine. Nicely done.
I am sorry, but the Panda was clever and functional. And it was not underpowered. Where I live, the post came with the Panda 4x4. In the winter it was better than any other car!
Again, totally disagree that the ''84 Lincoln Mark VII was ugly. That was one of my favorite cars ever designed, styling-wise. I mean how could you possibly consider that car ugly? It may have been mechanically a disaster like most American cars of that era, but the Mark VII was a beautiful work of art!
... I still think the pulsar is a nice looking car. The Oldsmobile was a torOnado, not a tornado. I thought it looked nice enough with its rear light stripe.
0:24 The '80 Seville wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I wouldn't call it ugly. It was also much more roomy and comfortable than the original 76-79 car, though you would want an '80 or '81 with one of the 6.0 L engines. The V-4-6-8 is no problem if you disable the cylinder deactivation, and some say it even runs fine if you disable the rough 6-cylinder mode and let it switch between 4 and 8 cylinders. 1:46 The Citation was not exactly a work of art, but I wouldn't call it ugly. Most of the problems were fixed by the '81 model year and the car was surprisingly comfortable and versatile. So, what was really ugly? The '78-'79 slope-back Buick Century and Olds Cutlass "fake hatchbacks". They look as if somebody made a diagonal cut through a station wagon with a sawzall.
My opinion: Cadillac SeVille: UGLY Fiat Panda: not that bad, not good either Chevrolet Citation: OK Excalibur Series IV: UGLY Glenfrome Facet: UGLY Ferrari Mondial: not that bad Toyota Corola Trecel: OK AMC Eagle Kammback: UGLY Maserati Biturbo: OK Ford Stanza Wagon: OK Ford Tempo: OK Lincoln Mark VII: Nope, I do not think the Washington from GTA is ugly, sorry Zimmer Quicksilver: UGLY Alfa Romeo Milano: UGLY Cadillac DeVille: not that bad Subaru XT: UGLY Ford Monte Carlo Aerocoupe: not that bad Buick Riviera/Cadillac Eldorado/Oldsmobile Toronado: not that bad Nissan Pulsar NX: OK Nissan Escargo: UGLY
At age 83, I drive a Pontiac Fiero....V6 5 speed...have driven Fieros solely since my 1st one in '89, have put over 400K on three of them, and have never even heard of most of these cars! But then, I've always been far more interested in motorcycles than cars! BHE
1:30 FIAT "amazingly" kept the Panda in production for 23 years because it was one of the best cars it (and every car brand) ever produced in the specific segment the Panda served! FIAT cars may always be mocked by the ignorants, but if there's something that FIAT was really good at was producing cheap and well functioning utility cars. Toyota took years to hurt FIAT in the utility segments in Italy! The Panda was my first car. I drive a Porsche Carrera now. I would still buy the same FIAT Panda for my kids if it was available today (adding only airbags to it)!
Sorry but the Panda was a fantastic cheap car! You are wrong!
Cheap but too angular no offence cheap but lame
Panda was just what it was , a cheap economy shit- box. You got what you paid for.

I am sorry, but the Panda was clever and functional. And it was not underpowered. Where I live, the post came with the Panda 4x4. In the winter it was better than any other car!
Great commentary!
I like the camback
Panda? Ferrari? Maserati? You really need new glasses or an education in car design😂
Yup 😂
Fr? Most are absolutely normal cars, and some looks stunning. So what's your beautiful cars? Fiat Multipla, Peel P50? Lmao 😂.
Again, totally disagree that the ''84 Lincoln Mark VII was ugly. That was one of my favorite cars ever designed, styling-wise. I mean how could you possibly consider that car ugly? It may have been mechanically a disaster like most American cars of that era, but the Mark VII was a beautiful work of art!
1:56 Even as a European, I felt vicarious embarrassment and disgust about this extremely rude and generalizing comment of yours.
It's not a real person. It's fake AI narration. UA-cam should require disclosure
... I still think the pulsar is a nice looking car. The Oldsmobile was a torOnado, not a tornado. I thought it looked nice enough with its rear light stripe.
I liked the panda quite groovey
I disagree & think differently too angular too lame
Well written! The 80’s were an awful time for car design!
Nissan S-Cargo the best!
Totally disagree that the bustle-back Cadillac Seville was ugly. It was a work of art.
А мне нравится 👍
0:24 The '80 Seville wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I wouldn't call it ugly. It was also much more roomy and comfortable than the original 76-79 car, though you would want an '80 or '81 with one of the 6.0 L engines. The V-4-6-8 is no problem if you disable the cylinder deactivation, and some say it even runs fine if you disable the rough 6-cylinder mode and let it switch between 4 and 8 cylinders.
1:46 The Citation was not exactly a work of art, but I wouldn't call it ugly. Most of the problems were fixed by the '81 model year and the car was surprisingly comfortable and versatile.
So, what was really ugly? The '78-'79 slope-back Buick Century and Olds Cutlass "fake hatchbacks". They look as if somebody made a diagonal cut through a station wagon with a sawzall.
Most of these cars are not ugly. They were fitting for their time and look even more cool today.
The Ferrari Mondal is not even close to ugly.
Thank government regulations for the most ugliest cars of the 1970's-1980's
Background music for this be like 80's skin flicks ... dissonant saxophone jazz, big hair, and thick mustaches.
Well, what can i say, this guy knows nothing, absolutely nothing about European cars.
For the people defending the panda, the video is about ugly cars. doesnt matter if its reliable, or if its an iconic car.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like how older cars look. All the cars these days ALL look the same !
My opinion:
Cadillac SeVille: UGLY
Fiat Panda: not that bad, not good either
Chevrolet Citation: OK
Excalibur Series IV: UGLY
Glenfrome Facet: UGLY
Ferrari Mondial: not that bad
Toyota Corola Trecel: OK
AMC Eagle Kammback: UGLY
Maserati Biturbo: OK
Ford Stanza Wagon: OK
Ford Tempo: OK
Lincoln Mark VII: Nope, I do not think the Washington from GTA is ugly, sorry
Zimmer Quicksilver: UGLY
Alfa Romeo Milano: UGLY
Cadillac DeVille: not that bad
Subaru XT: UGLY
Ford Monte Carlo Aerocoupe: not that bad
Buick Riviera/Cadillac Eldorado/Oldsmobile Toronado: not that bad
Nissan Pulsar NX: OK
Nissan Escargo: UGLY
At age 83, I drive a Pontiac Fiero....V6 5 speed...have driven Fieros solely since my 1st one in '89, have put over 400K on three of them, and have never even heard of most of these cars!
But then, I've always been far more interested in motorcycles than cars! BHE
1:30 FIAT "amazingly" kept the Panda in production for 23 years because it was one of the best cars it (and every car brand) ever produced in the specific segment the Panda served! FIAT cars may always be mocked by the ignorants, but if there's something that FIAT was really good at was producing cheap and well functioning utility cars. Toyota took years to hurt FIAT in the utility segments in Italy!
The Panda was my first car. I drive a Porsche Carrera now. I would still buy the same FIAT Panda for my kids if it was available today (adding only airbags to it)!
I never had a problem with the styling of the Alfa Romeo Milano or the Monte Carlo Aerocoupe.
Both good looking vehicles to me.
Of course, this is one persons opinion. I don't agree with some of his opinions either. That 80 Excalibur was a beautiful car.
The Excalibur was a car you expected a pimp to be driving.
That Tesla truck is one of the ugliest cars of the 2020’s.
Honda Civic, Yugo, Opel, Scirocco, Delorean, Trans Am
1:12...”Tel-Sa”…?😂😂😂
"NEEEESARN" ??? W.T.F. ???? SPEAK ENGLISH BOY PROPER ENGLISH !!! ITS A "NISSAN" !!!!
These cars are each more interesting looking than any of the generic cars sold these days.
