it’s also notable that the Pontiac Aztec, still widely panned as a poor deign, looks exactly like the extremely popular compact SUV or whatever that 30 different companies make nearly indistinguishable models of, but the Aztec had a dip in the profile at the rear.
I mean… The aesthetics of the Aztec were absolutely tragic. And the materials were peak ass-tier GM. All that bare textured black plastic that immediately fades in the sun.
Don’t forget the fact that if you dropped something on the dashboard, it was gone forever.
The HUD was awesome though. And The Tent ™

Immediately thought Lancia when I saw it. And kinda want.
Oh my god… My client seems to have gotten the images mixed up, the thumbnail was a starving child on IV looking like a mummy, with zero context other than “rule” 😭
Huh, that’s usually a kbin feature.
For anyone not in the loop, the 2nd photo is the Rivian R3X
Oh so this thing is probably 6x the size of a Yugo.
Yeah honestly it looks small next to the other trucks/SUVs but the thing is still MASSIVE. I don’t know why every car company wants to obliterate children (and the planet) this much.
Bigger cars are mostly just more metal. But you can ask prices abouat proportionally to size. The expensive parts are all about the same, whether it is the engine, gearbox, axis, computer…
So by selling someone a car that is twice as big for twice the money, when it only cost 25% more to produce, profit goes “brrrr”
It does at least have a second set of doors.
I can see a bit of AMC Gremlin at certain angles, but there’s a lot of Lada Niva there too.

What is the car on the right?
Rivian R3X that won’t be available until 2027
Looks awesome. Hopefully it’ll be less than a hundred fucking thousand dollars
It’ll be 74 base and you’ll be happy about it!
Jokes aside, the non-X (x=performance) version is expected to be around $40k, which is still expensive but on the lower end for EVs
