It is a good thing that EU car makers are developing new models, but why do they have to be 'inspired' by decades old models in terms of looks?

    What's wrong with that? The essential thing is that those models are based on proper only electric platforms and not some max-compromise combined platform with ICE models.

    I wholeheartedly agree that EVs should not be built as tanks. I just think that it's a bit lazy to rehash 50s or 80s design in order to make a car interesting. I know, in those times they were not designed in a wind tunnel, but c'mon.

    I have friends who drive an EV built by Dacia. It looks ugly, as all Dacias do, but at least it looks like a car from the 2020s. Or at least the 2010s...

    BTW, I am not dissing ugly cars. I drive a Korean car, so I do not care much for looks anyway. :-P
