The original Fiat Panda was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign:
“The Panda is like a pair of jeans, that simple, practical, no frills
piece of clothing. I tried to bring into this car the spirit of military
machinery, especially helicopters, that means light, rational,
built-for-purpose vehicles.” — Giorgetto Giugiaro, 1980
“The first 4×4 Panda hit the showrooms in 1983 and they sold six and a half million of them – decent sales figures for an idea that was mooted as ‘odd’. Trying to cram a heavy 4×4 system into a supermini was always going to be a tough ask but cram it in they did and it was an instant hit.” wheelerdealers.discoveryuk.com/car/fiat-panda-4×4/
