I like it, as did (IIRC) about 750,000 others. They spoiled it when they facelifted (anonymised) it, and sales fell off a cliff as a result. Form properly following function, for once.

It looks like it ought to make an Aaaaaaaggghhh sound as it travels towards you. Like the suicide bombers in the Serious Sam games.
The clue is in the word 'upcoming'.

Leccy cars either have a grill at the front or a blank panel where the grill used to be. Reminds me of cars designed during the Horse Age still looking like horseless carriages.
To be fair - some EVs do still benefit from air intake for the purposes of cooling if they have liquid cooled batteries and a radiator up front. Mostly they tend not to need a grille though.

Also quite often EVs (particularly those made by ICE manufacturers) are just reusing parts from their ICE cars. The ID4 charging port is just behind a standard fuel filler cap for example. There's no good reason for it and the design works much less well with a charging cable.My MINI EV has a fake supercharger air scoop on the bonnet!

I really like that. If I was forced to go Electric, and could afford one, I would like one of those. Sadly it would be about 60 grand out of my budget I expect. But it probably won't look as good in the flesh

True - it's the same with the MINI (charging port) - but they make an ICE MINI variant without a scoop on the bonnet too. The only reason the 'scoop' is there on the EV is for stylistic reasons (which would also add a little drag).

A number of MINI Electric owners swap the nose panels with those from a petrol Cooper S, thus undoing a load of aero work Herr Bimmermann has done.
I have a special brush to help clean inside the fake bonnet vent on Mrs Ds E3.
