Nah it’s definitely a step backwards in the look department.  Esp the rear end, that looks pretty fucking terrible now.

i think they look pretty damn sweet! the profile is BMW i3-ish, except not ugly.

as a recently minted Carmel resident, i can affirm you get used to it.  and now i fucking love them- im convinced they’re massive time-savers

florida gonna florida

All that is wrapped in a tidy mama bear-esque parkable wagon package. What’s not to like?

so when some cybercab driver gets a moving violation, who gets the ticket?

cute, but nowadays if you could just finagle a K20 in there it would get you more power from (obviously) far less complexity
