Heard. I think some designs are far better than others - I don’t think this is the best looking car, but I appreciate how bold and unique it is, and I like how sharply it contrasts with the blocky Ioniq 5. I think there’s time to refine this language into something more attractive, but it’s already on the right track.

What an absolutely spectacular glow-up. I think the last Prius Prime looked pretty good, but this is a genuinely gorgeous design. It stands out that much more because I understand and appreciate that the Prius has always been designed around the functions of aerodynamics and efficiency. I’m glad they’ve managed to

I autocrossed my 968 for the first time last weekend. She’s definitely got moves, and besides, Francis Bacon once said “There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion.”

It’s cool. This isn’t really a car worth remembering.

It looks like a modern evolution of the old CB chassis - clean, inoffensive, handsome, and well-proportioned, just as a Honda sedan ought to be. I’m here for it. 

I love a good two-tone finish, but here it only highlights how this design looks like one car eating another. 

I cannot get over how increasingly and deliberately absurd BMW designs are getting. They continue to outdo themselves in the worst ways. 

Thank you! I think this is every bit as cheesy as it is playful. 

I think there’s an opportunity to collaborate with video game developers for creative new engine notes. I don’t see why there couldn’t be an option to mimic the exhaust note of a 440 Six Pack, or a modern Hellcat V-8. I’m pretty sure there’s a Renault out there which allows you to select different cars’ exhaust notes

My Porsche 968 has to be the prettiest car I’ve had the privilege of owning. It has that classic long hood/fastback profile, and it looks inescapably 90s, despite being based on a platform that traces its roots to the The 70s. The rear third of the car is my favorite part, with its boxy rear fenders, curved hatchback

It released rather recently so you're probably not alone

I kind of love it.

The way Dodge managed to successfully rebrand as “the muscle car manufacturer” fueled my daydreams for what Pontiac could have been.

Porsche’s “Taco Shell Wing” that graced the 996 and 997 - always loved this funky design. 

This is a very interesting take. 

The design is gorgeous inside and out, save for the rear. It looks far too bulbous, but I’m sure it was dictated by aerodynamic goals.

The Chevrolet SS Sedan was NOT a failure of marketing that would have been some huge hit if GM just got their act together.

RCR said it best - “An oversold bag of marketing garbage.”

I wouldn't say EVs can be designed in any shape. Aerodynamics are key for maximizing range, and that certainly restricts how a car can be styled. 

I’d love to read more about these differences! Anything you could link me to?
