I think they look neat and I don't do any drugs. Not even the cool ones! Is it so hard for people to believe that different people have different tastes? Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Hawaiian pizza to demolish.
P.S. I only think they look cool. Their build quality seems pretty bad, and the company CEO is a stain upon the earth.
To be fair, some people have objectively poor taste.
But taste is purely subjective. Things like style and fashion are the opposite of objective. What "looks good" changes drastically over time and distance, so there is no right answer. Just because someone is wearing something that you think is silly does not mean they share your opinion. Same goes with vehicles. I personally don't like the looks of the Nissan Leaf, but plenty of people bought those and loved them.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
I absolutely agree with this. Disregarding the many genuine issues there are, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, I don't hate it at all. Then again, I do not follow car trends and fashion and whatnot, so I may just not have the right frame of reference required to hate the design.
What's your take on the Pontiac Aztek? That's another one that people seem to hate, but I think it's rad lol.
PT cruiser was another of that era. I didn't mind the Aztek but the cruiser just didn't do it for me
Midget hurse.
stupid ahh car
The Aztec suffered the same as most GM cars at the time. Too much body cladding. Other than that, it really wasn't as bad as people acted. The cyber truck makes the Aztec look like art.
Look cool they look unfinished.
On person's trash is another's treasure. I think they look cool.
They would look cool in a limited run, but as a serious launch they look silly
Vehicles are functional designs. Anytime the function follows the form I’m out, and in vehicle design the function needs to include safety like a working windshield wiper or doors that open in an emergency, or smooth corners that won’t kill or make pedestrians, or crumple zones that won’t flatten other motorists.
I'm with you on the functional bit, but the form/function order doesn't bother me as much. So long as there are functions like safety and stuff.
I doubt the corners are sharp enough to cause any extra damage over the standard "pedestrian struck by vehicle" fare. Smooth vehicles kill just as well based purely on the virtues of being very heavy and strong compared to our fleshy bodies.
At least one owner needed stitches after running their hands down the edge near the tailgate in their first 20 minutes of ownership.
Just bumping into it in a parking could be more dangerous.
Also any US cars available for sale in Europe have to meet pedestrian crash standards and have softer metal in the hood, no Harding that protrude under said hood, and plastic front fascia that deform more easily. The deplorean has neither of these things. Though most large trucks in the US don’t either, since we don’t have those rules here.
Ah, that sounds like a jagged edge of a panel and not a corner of the vehicle. Standard poor build quality stuff. That wouldn't make a difference at all in a crash scenario, but definitely do not pet the cyber truck.
The jagged edges are the corners of the vehicle as designed.
It’s designed with thick sheet metal instead rolled panel edges like all other vehicles. Because of this, the leading edges of the panels are going to do more damage no matter how well they’re built and finished.
The creases and stiffness of the panels are very much worse on the ct too, don’t get me wrong. It was designed to look imposing and the side effect is dangerous to everyone else near them.
I'll admit I thought it looked cool the first time I saw it presented on stage. However, it looks like absolute shit in the real world where there's dirt and no control of the lighting and viewing angle
