It's like they tried to copy an Ioniq 5 but decided it wasn't ugly enough.

Only if you're White.

>>28862549
That strategy worked for E65. Other cars far surpassed it in ugliness and now it looks great.

Serious question - isn't there like a panel where these companies show the proposed designs to various peoples of various ages and backgrounds? I can't believe that an evenly distributed group of people would prefer this over something else, unless the other possibilities were even worse.
BMW is done and gone.

BMW's strategy for the last 2 decades.
Seems to have worked out well for them.

>>28862577
No, because they want to avoid leaks. Review panels are just all internal employees and they can't outright tell their bosses that the car looks like total shit and needs to shoved back up the designer's asses.

>>28862622
What could the average panelist actually leak if you didn't allow them to touch their phones during the process?

>>28862679
Are you going to tell your boss, around other people, that this 500mil to 1bil project is headed in a poor direction? You think you would, but you wouldn't.

>>28862692
>project going in a poor direction
That's just exterior design. "I don't like it" would be acceptable.

>>28862692
If it was my job, I would.
>Boss comes to me and says their 500mil/1bil project was a flop because I didn't do my job saying it looked like shit

>>28862721
"I don't like it" gets you fired. Even the other engineers that don't like it won't say shit if their income is on the line.
"Oh, you're an engineer with good uni grades and work history? Too bad, a guy born 20 years before you wants what he wants."

>>28862724
They already sold most of their planned 2026 production, so this does not seem to be the case.
Though it seems that people buy it less for the looks than for the technology.

People dont buy these. Companies lease them as fleet car and the bean counters making that decission dont care about the cuck actualy driving it.

A big part yes. But people usually have a bit of a choice in company cars (at least at this price level - the Amazon delivery driver certainly has none).

>>28862577
Yes, final designs in an automotive studio are reviewed in a clinic composed of a distribution of owners, either of that brand's cars, or of other vehicles in the segment. There is usually also a clinic with automotive journalists or "expert judges". The clinic feedback is treated as gospel by some OEMs, and dismissed altogether by others. Many brands that adhere strictly to clinic feedback have boring as fuck designs because most people don't know what they want or like.

>>28862622

>>28862774
Wow. You're telling me that driving a 2,300 lb car that refills in a minute is idiotic because I could be in a 5,000 lb automatic mass-surveillance car that takes longer to refuel? And it's only 10x more expensive? Sign me up!
You EVfags miss the point that only EVfags care about charging times.

>>28862785
You seem to care about charging times...
I don't get the emotion people put into this discussion on both sides - there are cars for every purpose. Use whatever you want.
The price is comparable to the ICE version, BTW. It's a BMW, so it isn't cheap in any way.

Why do all cuckovers have wheel wells shaped like this?
Some aero shit?

>>28862809
Fairly sure no one's trying anymore. It just slops out with the necessary metrics for cost, ease of production, aero and safety
Somewhere in the middle of all that is an SUV shaped object just like all the rest

>>28862809
To maintain the illusion of height and sportyness but keep underbody aero efficiency/economy targets they simply have no choice but the extreme onions-well.
It's like 90's ricer bodykits on stock ride-height cars.

Aztec is becoming a collector car with a good risk to return ratio. They'll probably boom in price soon.

>>28863425
Breaking Balls already made them shootup in price. Good luck finding one in perfect condition for a good price. If it needs 10k in repairs and cosmetics it won't fetch you any buck as "collectible". Only pristine ones do.

It was disposable GM slop when it was new, it still is. A few surviving into the 2010s to be featured in some TV show doesn't undo that.

>>28863439
>It was disposable
if you like it or not this PLUS them being pretty much THE origin of today's suv designs makes them the perfect collectibles in the future. you will see. there are thousands of cars that were disposable and later became collectibles once only a handful survived.

It's not aero it's pure styling. The optimum wheel arch for aero is a perfectly concentric one with the minimum clearance, or a completely closed wheel arch like on the old Prius.

>>28864633
>Aztek clones are the most sold class of vehicle today
We've been over this a million times before. In 2012 the US instituted new CAFE standards that classified crossovers as "trucks" with a huge mileage and emissions break over "cars." The car levels were unreasonable, so cars became thousands more expensive each due to CAFE fees while they pivoted to the one that didn't require R&D.

>>28861976
Why do companies insist on fucking SUV EVs?
Literally the only half affordable sedans are fucking model 3 and ioniq 6.

>>28864694
If your EV has to be big dumb and heavy anyway you might as well make it an SUV

>>28864696
>you might as well make it an SUV
Yeah, but that completely tanks the mileage on highways at high speed, there's a reason all sedan EVs have such optimized designs so they have less wind resistance.

>>28864728
If the Silverado EV can manage to have half decent range by EV standards then I think they can make an aerodynamic SUV

>>28864694
1st what the other Anon already wrote
2nd people buy them
Sedans don't really sell well anymore, except maybe for luxury vehicles.
People like the higher sitting position for comfort (people are getting older on average) and better view and they also feel safer in SUVs.
Women at a certain age or income feel the need to switch from a meme microcar (think Renault Twingo) to a small SUV.

Why do SUVs make everyone seethe?
Anticar faggots hate them with even more passion for being "city tanks" and taking up space. Car fags hate them for not being sporty enough.
Yet they seem to be what people demand, and the industry hears their calls.

>>28864694
Some of the hybrid SUV's aren't too bad if you have to do a lot of traveling but otherwise I wouldn't bother with an SUV-sized EV around town. Especially the larger ones are fughueg things and there's always some dope that can't park them despite the 360deg camera, all round sensors, backing up camera etc they are literally bought by the dumbest fucks that ever got slopped out of a cunt
