Yeah, true. But to be honest, as the marketing boss he has to defend that bullshit thing and I wouldn't stand for it as well.

Why don’t they ever do retro designs and bring back popular classic looks? An electric F40 would probably sell like crazy.

Seriously marketing has so much power in my company. They dictate what products get developed. Meanwhile my so company they are treated like jesters.

I imagine that's the issue, that it does in fact not look like a Ferrari, when it is supposed to be a Ferrari.

I saw an image edit with a Toyota Prius badge and I legit liked it

I totally agree. It looks like a startup made a concept of a vehicle in a movie. It’s not ugly by any means ugly but when I see a Ferrari I KNOW it’s a Ferrari. Same way with a McLaren or a Lamborghini.

It looks fine.

It just looks like a minimalist hatchback in a era where minimalist design is already overused.

The interior is the only part of this vehicle that is actually interesting.

The secretly don’t want to manufacture them so they make them look like shit?

Obviously they can be made to look normal, the Ford Lightning & Mach E, Lucid, Polestar, and even a Tesla all look pretty normal and arguably some look really nice. But ask a mainstream manufacturer to make an EV car and they look stupid half the time. The Prius finally doesn’t look like it’s trying to virtue signal with its ugliness, so designs can be improved too.

I just don't like that so many of them are fucking hatchbacks. I just want a sedan (that isn't a god damned Tesla).

There's two big reasons.

No front grill

So much of a brand's identity can be carried by the grill and headlights. And on an EV, there's no need for a grill. But just a slab of flat metal looks weird, so they add stuff to break it up.

Drag

The range of an EV is a lot more sensitive to drag than an ICE car.

So in order to reduce the drag, shapes are smoothed out.

Aero efficiency becomes a much bigger priority than looks.

I thought he just designed the interior?

That's because it was designed by Jony Ive.

Not a bad look IMHO, but yeah Ferraris tend to be distinct and this isn't really

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

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).

I also think it looks alright, but if you saw one on the street, would you think it's a Ferrari?

Yes, if it was a Kia then it'd be great (at 1/8th the price, maximum).
