Comment on Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars
oatscoop@midwest.social 1 year agoIt’s great Citroën is making a small, cheap EV … but why did they make it look like a cross between a Fiat Multipla and a pug?
That thing is ugly.

That thing’s front and back are exactly the same. It saves on fabrication costs to use the same part but it gives a weird look.

Turns out there are after market mods for that. Spoiler, other front, flame paint job

“Why is this $8,000 car so terrible,” he lamented, without a trace of irony.

It isn’t “terrible”, it’s ugly because of design choices – specifically that Multipla style “forehead ridge”. It would have cost nothing to design front/back body panel without it. A less complicated body panel would look better.
The price point and form factor has nothing to do with it.
