I’ll raise you one: Blob-era pickup trucks

idk...I think the mid-90's Taurus was the blobbiest of them all.

I don’t know what Mercedes was on in the early 2000s, but it was Ugly then, and it’s ugly now: Mercedes Kompressor c230

The “new” Honda Accord looked 30 years old the day it debuted.

The blob generation of cars. And if you need a specific example, the Hyundai Coupe is probably one of the worst of those.

This will scare you, but sometimes we leave our own borders. Mad eh?

When it’s 20°F outside and your range falls to 125 miles, it matters.

I can’t speak for the vast majority. But for myself, we regularly travel around 250 miles one way, to locations that do not have charging infrastructure, and we don’t have time to wait for a level one charge.

It is ok to think of your automobile as an appliance.  For most of the general driving public your car is a way to get from point A to point B.  We don’t all have to be enthusiasts.

It’s gotten SO much worse. Look at how the Odyssey (gen3) and Sienna (gen2) used to be:

I would easily confuse this with a slightly older Honda Pilot from a distance

I am siding with the school on this one. It is not a public school - it is a private school with membership.

I prefer it too, but it’s also a bit more generic and nondescript.

This made me realize, I prefer the pre refresh exterior.

front grille just looks ridiculous. Reminds me of the VW Microbus as it aged.

Counterpoint. It won't last forever, it just seems like forever.

I couldn’t agree more with that last part. My partner and I went to go look at Audi E-Trons this past weekend and when I showed her a Q8 sportback, she thought it looked incredibly stupid to take a 5-door fastback, add giant 22" wheels, and lift the body up several inches. A total poseur car.

And without ugly black plastic lining the wheel wells, a “floating” roof line, hack and slash random character lines, giant grills with a pissed off leer to the face, weird shaped taillights and all the other extremely tired modern car styling cues? At least by modern standards this looks like you might almost be able…

I’m just pointing out that you call the Equinox a midsize when the industry, and probably consumers, consider it to be a compact. For reference it’s 183 inches long, the same length as the late Chevy Cruze, which was a compact car by about any measure.
