EV and Hybrid - CAR - Front ends. Ugly.

[Pablo]

I get it. Radiator grill not needed.

But that shouldn't mean you can make the front end look like a frog-insect aborted interspecies lodoide. Wow. Show me a nice one. Because frankly they are all ugly as sin itself. Sorry, but it's bad.

Carry on.

Nope. Dang.

Egg cars are truly awful to see, but a modern day SUV hurts my heart just as much. The current trend of making cars taller and taller for no reason at all has made modern cars just as bad as the electric egg-cars.

Pablo is probably thinking more of this, you know, one you actually see on the road:

Are there any hybrids without a grill? I don't recall seeing one.

You probably are correct

Didn’t hinder my rant too much

An EV need not be either egg shaped or especially tall to be ugly:

Yes, I know this is a cheap shot.

The most important thing is the car gets you from Point A to Point B, you are not looking at the front end while you are driving!

If they can design them like this they can build them like this. But when they float a greedy $400,000 price tag they kill their market. I can not imagine this can't be built for less than a Corvette.

Perhaps I'm biased, but Honda hybrids are mostly distinguished by a small "Hybrid" badge almost invisible on the rear of the vehicle, front ends, grills etc looking pretty much identical to the ICE versions. I appreciate that. I do miss fog lights though.

Cute utes all suffer from the same problem, how to make a good looking hatch. They keep adding "swooshes" and some have four or five of them. I don't think they add much aerodynamically, they're just trying to break up a fat rear end.

I remember the 1986 Ford Taurus when it came out. Between the headlights was just a Ford logo with a tiny vent. The rest of the air came from under the bumper. This was revolutionary for its time, along with the ten-degree tilt for the passenger windows.

Blank slate is just too much freedom

Lots of ugly vehicles on the road today. Not an overall fan of Tesla, but they have the best front ends in the EV business.
