Just you wait, these will be iconic and sought after in about 20 years, lol. People will be doing pet projects on them just like the Subaru bugeyes of the 00s. Which people also thought were weird looking, haha.
I'm glad they start doing something different with the front. I hate the electric cars that still have the ventilation slits for where the cars radiator used to be, but have them filled in with black plastic, as they serve no purpose anymore.
New hardware begs me design and shoehorning in the old design aesthetic is both lazy as well as proof of a lack of vision.
2020 seems to be the decade of awful tail lights but Rivian is definitely trying to set a new trend here. Those would be a total deal breaker for me if I was looking for an electric truck which is shame because otherwise it's a nice vehicle.
How's Rivian's union drive going?
Have never met EV drivers more pissed-off at their car's software than VW owners. Hopefully, this will inject something more functional back into VWs.
After all these years any time a company with a poor product buys a company with a good product, I've stopped assuming the poor product will become more like the good product
Are they gonna fix how dumb those cars look?
K-2SO lookinβ freak
I really like the way they look. I think it's just one of those designs you either love or really hate. That angle is goofy though.
Boooo! Only my opinion is the right one!
No my opinion is the only good one!
Well.. okay. But only because Iβm sleepy.
See, the thing is, I hate the styling of it, but I absolutely love that car makers - freed from the rigid designs demanded by huge combustion engines, transmissions and fuel tanks - are actually trying stuff out.
I remember when they got rid of the old WRX design. I thought the new ones looked stupid.
But they were right. Now when you look at the old ones they look cringe
Even cars like the Nissan cube and the CJ cruiser honestly my opinions have totally changed
What does that mean for scout? VW is building that factory in South Carolina right now...
It probably means the scout is going to build on Rivian's platform.
