377 square inches of surface, and climate control “buttons” smaller than on a 1990s Civic. What an impressive achievement indeed.

Very interesting read, thanks for the link.

the logo sure feels like something that was knocked out in the elevator ride to the conference room as the designers realized what day it was.

If the dock is about to sink, then it could be quite apposite.

Names/logos/trademarks in all lowercaps is a rather old and very tired design cliché that needs to die already. That anyone made millions selling this to a company like GM in 2021 is simply... unbelievable.

the roof rack looks a lot sturdier

14 responses and no-one took the bait of asking whether Jeep decals are really “upbadging”?

the ET7, the fourth vehicle in its lineup

But Dauphine was the original name already?

(Came too late for joke.)

How ‘bout no.

I knew you could have a suicide wish to become a dictator, but I never imagined suicide doors.

The Rolls is the least-inspiring design they ever made, and the US-mandated headlights only make it look worse.

$100K and they couldn’t align the logo with one of the branches?

I agree on the wheel arches. They look like something you got at Jack-O-Custom-Parts.

The logo looks cool from afar, but up close you sort of feel it needs a third line. Like this it looks like Gucci was nought by Fendi.

Renaulition

We want to radiate even more premium and not appear quite so playful.

It all looks good until you get to the full-on side view, and then you wonder if Dacia knows of Bézier curves.

In the case of Porsche, it still isn’t, don’t you think? Because no-one is going to mistake a Cayenne for a Boxster. For Audi, the potential cannibalism is higher, because big SWs and SUVs mostly differ only by ride height.
