  "account": "Fiat has unveiled a conceptual vehicle called the Multiplay at the Paris Motor Show, which runs from October 12 to 18. The Multiplay is a versatile study that combines the roles of a van, SUV, and pick-up truck. It features a modular design, including a movable rear section that can be converted from a six-seater family vehicle to a four-seater pick-up truck with an open cargo area. The interior is designed for variability, with a \"Petsenger Seat\" that can serve as a child seat, pet bed, table, or storage space.",
  "summary": "The Multipla was once ridiculed as the ugliest car of all time. At the Paris Motor Show, Fiat is now showing what a new version could look like, but promises nothing.",
