    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

      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.

      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 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.
