I don't think it looks all that bad. Also of all the backlash people, how many were ever going to buy one?

Complete non story this one. It's been pushed by the anti-EV crowd

It would be a good looking Renault Megane. It's a terrible looking Ferrari. It has nothing Ferrari about it.

Yeah, I can see that. Sort of my issue with the EV Mustang. It isn't just an EV version of the Mustang. It's a completely different car. Just call it something else. Maybe a different horse breed.

Bro come on. Like the other person said, it doesn't look like a Ferrari. It looks like an econobox. I don't get why it's so hard for them to make it look like a super/hypercar. Nobody wants to spend half a mil (or whatever) on this soccer mom-looking-ass-car.

The issue is that ferrari is only as valuable as it is perceived. If the brand is not thought of as being the best, then the product will not sell well (at the price).
