Pointless & impractical vehicles

[gbb]

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.

I've yet to see a nice EV design from the latest crop. The BMW i8 had a look but most if not all EVs leave me feeling....nah. There's so little style or flair about them.

Nah, it's been photoshopped / CGI'd. You can easily see where the image has been cloned and then transposed. I do a lot of photo restoration in photoshop, so the techniques (and mistakes e.g. duplicate reflections) are easy enough to spot.

Also, mechanically, it wouldn't work, because the wheel arches would intrude into the passenger cabin, meaning you couldn't get any seating in. Stuff like that, where it *has* been built, tends to be done on a custom chassis.

Back in the mid nineties, a pal had a short wheelbase Vauxhall Frontera. It was a real squeeze to get three adults in the back seat for the same reason.

I think it is but it'll never take off...

Another example of the difference between "can" and "should".

Yes, it can't overcome those Beetle underpinnings I guess

They're white goods. No one gets excited over a fridge.

It was more all that weight mounted virtually on the roof, beetles as such ain't that bad but a ton or more on the roof.

If Zeppelin made cars...

Anyone work out what's under the skin?
