I'd say it looks like a Ferrari from the rear more than the front. Isn't that what you'd expect? It hasn't got a traditional engine in it, so if you designed the front to look more like a traditional Ferrari, you'd have to design it to look like it has a traditional engine, but then form wouldn't follow function, so it would be less beautiful by that standard. If I were a really rich person looking to buy an expensive car, which I'm not, I'd think I might consider it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago Yes, because it’s got the giant yellow Ferrari logo on the side of it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 child) Yes, if it was a Kia then it'd be great (at 1/8th the price, maximum). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago Yeah, that's exactly it.
