Our brain is capable of generating whole forms, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of global figures instead of just collections of simpler and unrelated elements (points, lines, curves, etc.).

What I mean is the human brain has the habit of defining an object by the box it will fit into.
One may see the Schlörwagen as leaving a lot of that box empty and feel angry or cheated out of NOT filling out the box - where is the rest of the car?
When one sees a box van we instinctively perceive there is a lot of volume and therefore value, hence a intrinsically frugal appreciation or scorn is established based on our own values system.
Value system aside, our brains are always aware of this metric, stray too far from the norm and you are figuratively outside the box. The "tall poppy" or peer pressure of society says we must fit in or be cast out.
People brave enough to lead the way are often cast outs before they succeed. Appealing to these cast outs is a more limited market and perhaps too different for mass appeal and risks being orphaned.
The Schlörwagen is a cast out, but I identify with other cast outs and would accept it into my clan. Then again I am a freak of some kind, just look at my cars and hobbies.
The freak market isn't that big, if it were we would all be freaks and it would be norm. Normal is the opposite of freak, the world would be upside down were that to happen.
Yes, the Sunday morning coffee has kicked it - good stuff. So good I cannot believe it's legal.
