OK. They "design" a luxury vehicle and then put stupid wheels on it to ruin the ride. Please God make it end.

MikeB4: A very subjective subject. For me most of the Telsa range but in particular the Model Y with its stupid rear doors.

 

The Model X doors at least have practical use...most parents that own them rave about how they let them wrangle the kids into/out of the back seats without having to contend with a roof.

 

My entry would be the Ford Puma...the front reminds me a lot of the earlier Nissan Juke:

The Puma is only acceptable in Rally1 hybrid form:

The road version looks a bit weak after watching that.

Barely even resembles the Puma's on the road. Or at the mechanic.

I wouldn't be able to open the doors in our garage, they would hit the rafters.

Now back to the fun. Is that some new Bat Mobile  or Star Trek vehicle. Imagine getting that into any parking building or your crossover at home.

Do you think some of these new cars could be trying to make the Fiat Multipla look attractive?

Is that even possible? in the defence of the poor old  Multipla it was versatile vehicle it's just the designers smoked too herbs.

Andib:

 

It would have to be the Hyundai Staria Load.
The designers were clearly influenced by the 'EV look' but it's a traditional ICE. IMO the iLoad it replaced looked much better.

 

 

 

Figured this would be here - it reminds me of this meme cat but without the cute
