It looks like a normal car in any part of the world that is not the US. The focus for big, gas gusller cars is a very American thing thanks to the cheap gas

Ok, what about the Merceds EQE/Ss? They're $74K+ Honda Civics. Why not put them in the standard E/S class bodies? Why do they have to look like a piece of shit car even though they come from what, in America, is a luxury auto?

What is the drag coef between the two? A lot of cars that we think look nice burn a lot of extra gas because of their shape.

Are the interiors of the EQS the same of a Honda civic? Where do you get this gourmet civics from?

I'm not referring to the need for large SUVs or Trucks, or other large gas gusllers. We need normal looking sedans, sports cars, and other cars that don't look like these cheap EV compact hatchbacks.

That's your personal preference and the Bolt looks like a normal car. The BMW i3 or the Cybertruck are outliers.
