Funny, I was just thinking that they're refreshing different looking. Almost everything on the road today looks the same to me, I often have to look at the badge on a vehicle to know the manufacturer.

They do look a bit goofy, but I think that's part of their charm; kind of like a delivery van version of the Fiat 500e.

Personally, I'd say it looks much nicer than almost every SUV and/or pickup truck on the market (I know it's not even the same category, though the same frame is also used for their pickup truck).

It just saddens me to see the distance from bumper to front seat (for visibility reasons), though that could just be due to me not being American.

Apparently the visibility problem has an interesting solution: a window in the middle of the bumper.

OMG, it is steer by wire. No thanks!

Its a commercial vehicle. They are utilitarian. They look better than all of the other 20 varieties of box van that are ubiquitous.

Thankfully your opinions and beauty standards mean nothing on the internet. I for one think they look fantastic.

But mine do...

I would buy the ugliest EV in the world if it was cheap and had great range. Sadly that vehicle doesn't exist yet.

Giving me cyberpunk/robocop vibes kinda dig it actually. Not gorgeous by any means but unique for sure.

It's a Johnny Cab from Total Recall

The fare is 18 credits, please.

The purpose isn't to use them as a status symbol like most personal cars. They look perfectly fine as transit vans, or for a hundred other government or commercial use cases.

Terribly Ugly might be the lifestyle that those Lifestyle Delivery Vehicles are delivering.

Seriously, I would be happy to see those quirky things on the road.

I would buy one, if it were available in a "private car" config for a reasonable price. I would love to be able to see the road directly in front of the car through the lower window.

They don't look very aerodynamic. But that snubby front end could give them excellent visibility, if done correctly.

If those are the Canoo vehicles that I'm thinking of, then the front visibly is excellent, but maybe also not how you expected:

It's not a screen, just a tinted window.

The diagonal visibility actually looks quite poor. You could easily hide a dog, or a small child, standing close to the vehicle in the direction it's turning towards.
