Jaguar Type 01 debuts; now, no one remembers the electric Ferrari
(arstechnica.com)
The Type 01 is the first model to arrive from Jaguar’s rebirth. The British carmaker was an early entrant to the modern EV market with the 2017 I-Pace, which was fun to drive even if it was too small inside and perhaps completely unreliable. An all-electric sedan was supposed to be next, but a year from the showroom, it was abruptly canceled, leaving the automaker with nothing to sell as old models like the F-Pace ceased production.
“The jag, it looks like a car you’d steal in Cyberpunk 2077,” said one Ars staffer approvingly. Credit: Jaguar
ice cars are how they are because they basically need to be. I'm an anti car but I'm glad EVs are throwing that shitty design criteria out the window and experimenting.
Chinese cars are how they are because that's what the biggest car market on the planet wants.
if you want something that is boring and uninspiring, Toyota has your back
I can neither afford nor need one if these but id get one :)
Hyundai's new V model as well

Most EV manufacturers doesn't seem to be experimenting:
Doo handles - integrated
Body - Tall SUV
Grill - Missing
Headlights - Slim LED, sometimes a full lightbar.
Readlights - Full lightbar
Hood - Tall
General size - Huge
You know what would be experimenting? Styling EVs like ICE cars.
That frankly looks gaudy as heck but well taste is subjective I guess.
