What I find interesting is that on a quick look.....it could be one of several modded cars on the forum.
And the 'body lines' make it look as if it was put together from parts!

Eco-look?
Why does eco-ternative vehicles have to be so distinctively geeky looking. There must be some alternative marketing edict that it must look that part. The 'genius' market needs a Jonathan Ive vehicle designer. There is still hope, he appreciates (Aston Martins) & loves transportation design.
Tesla had to borrow from Lotus. Designer Fisker has at least put on very tasty & fashionable clothes on his designs.

I think that they need to let a talented designer adjust the surface "graphics" and maybe even improve the aero a bit. And like a lot of unusual, out-of-the-ordinary cars (the Aptera and Edison2 come to mind) they look a lot better in person than they do in still pictures.
And yes, we have a thread on this car. By the way, before we get too picky -- it is about the second or third most efficient 4 seat cars ever made. That is quite impressive accomplishment. It is also incredibly quick -- 0-60 in something like 5 seconds, and four wheel drive, too.

I'm sorry. In nice language it
looks like a MUTT!
A Citroen 2CV got together with a Smart car! Ouch on the eyes!!!
Are those ghastly things surrounding the door handles exterior side protection
crash bars, or someone's idea of style??
EE--Gads...!!!!!
The Aztek, and the Pacer look like showgirl's in comparison!

I like it, the rear could be more consistently integrated but overall it looks quite good - like the iMEV (and relatives) should have looked.
