It really does, especially for $640,000. I don't understand why no one is making EVs that look like most vehicles. I can kind of understand it if they only make EVs (I guess) but companies like Ferrari couldn't just slap some batteries in a normal looking Ferrari body?
I hate to give them credit, but Ford did this the best with the Lightning imo. It looks nearly identical to the ICE version. I think their goal with that was to save on manufacturing by just using the same body, but I'll take it.
If China made something this ugly for $25,000 it would be a meme.
Absolutely this, if I was forced to get a car I would want a BYD
VW, PSA/Fiat/Dodge/Opel/Vauxhall (half of stellantis basically), Audi, BMW, Kia/Hyundai, Renault (for the most part), Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda (their small SUVs), Acura, Mazda, Mini (though their recent redesigns are ugly as fuck), Volvo, hell even new Smart models are like a scaled down FX.
There's a good amount of normal, the problem is trying to design outlandish stuff just for the sake of it. Look at Lancia's PuRa concept car, then their new Ypsilon, that's what happens when you do it for the love of the game. And they're not doing a flagship yet which is imo the best iteration of that design.
But instead of consistency and pleasing basic shapes Ferrari made a cross between a Watch Dogs car and a cheap gaming mouse.
Cadillac Lyriq and Chevy Equinox look like typical SUVs.
