There was no reason to make it look so out of place, unless they actually wanted to tank sales. Nothing about its look is necessitated by the EV drive train versus ICE.

That's not a marketing issue, that's whoever approved that design. Which, to be fair, may be the marketing boss depending on how their corporate structure is.

I mean, I feel nuts because I've complained about so many EVS that look terrible and not like a normal ice car.

Yeah, true. But to be honest, as the marketing boss he has to defend that bullshit thing and I wouldn't stand for it as well.

Seriously marketing has so much power in my company. They dictate what products get developed. Meanwhile my so company they are treated like jesters.
