In the late 90s anyone would have laughed at this in TOTAL disbelief.
It looks like a caricature.

I just want to say I'm fucking REPULSED by how every car maker in the world seems to be converging on this kind of bluff flat faced design language.
And not the cool kind of flatness like a 70's land yacht or 90's E30, but this gay almost-but-not-quite melted flatness where it gives the *impression* of being flat but then you zoom in and can't not notice that not a single point anywhere on the front has a level surface like looking too closely at an ai generated picture and you can't unsee it it's fucking BOTHERSOME.

>>28497063
yeah, they never made things like these in the 90s either

Their current D23 pickup with the YD25 is a good work truck. They seemed to iron out those soft rear spring issues and they are the standard government truck in my country. We got 3 in 2022 and I can't say about a single complaint against them aside from their looks. Hell they are 1/3 cheaper than the equivalent hilux and if we have any need to we can grab a 4th one and still be around the 3 Hilux price mark.

Even the Toyota dealer was steering us to their GWM pickups because Toyota were just inflating prices and shafting their dealers as vehicles are price controlled in my country to stop that shit you see in the states (those D23's) are the same price as they were in 2018 when we got two to replace some 2007 D22's we had that were a bit tired from hauling 3,500 lbs on too often an occasion.

I want something like this but with normal transmission.
All normal convertibles are completely unprepared for light "offroading". Wrangler and other SUVs with removable panels have shit for aero and removing/installing back everything is a chore.

Your feeling is shared by at least one other person. It's caricature-esque, I don't know how else to describe it. All designers just seem to have given up and are now shitposting.

BMW makes the ugliest cars on the market. They took the men’s shaver gangster aesthetic from the 20s and crossed it over with 80s stealth technology. Overall lines no good:Germany needs help.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people would disagree.

is that BMW X8 M40i XDrive 8M Sport series 0.2?

I miss the days of M1, 3/5/7 series. Keep it simple. You're not Lexus, for good reason.

This thing. They watered down the Lamborghini name even further than it already was in order to appeal to frivolous new money types. For a Lambo it has absolutely zero road presence unless it's in a bright color, else it blends in with all the other crossover slop

>>28498820
You need to realise that design trends are a social contagion more than anything else anon.

>>28498820
They don't design any cars that don't look like this to compete with it, and they already barely sell any cars.

Every vehicle made since the 1995 model year, without exception.

I've seen them in Singapore, along with the Toyota versions. It's pretty much a private hire car. Airport limousines, hotels, etc.

they are really popular, especially for a 250k car, see tons of them in london.

>For a Lambo it has absolutely zero road presence

It looks like every other crossover on the road

First time I saw it I didnt even notice until I saw the giantass brake caliper

>>28496640
shock marketing, vulgar, standing out on a road styling is all they've got left in a post pure ICE world where every vehicle drives vaguely the same based on the same parts bin

bayerische MOTOREN werke is no longer werke on motoren, so the kidney grill is all they've got left.

>>28498081
Why? If your friend buys this you have to pretend to like it.

>>28498280
All NATIVE Germans I know either simply don't like the current Bmw designs or actually hate the designs.
The issue is that German car brands no longer cater to Germans. Domestic market taste became an after after AFTER thought. They try really fucking hard to cater to other developing markets that crave loud designs.
Funnily they got really burned hard by the Chinese market recently.
>We'll did everything for you! PLEASE buy our cars... We'll lick your feet too...

well that and car journalists calling german cars "sterile", "typically german" and "boring" for decades made them go full retard at some point

>>28498543
Fuck my sides

IDK why this is so funny

>>28499127
The Uterus is a fucking travesty. The Bentayga, Touareg, Q7 and Cayenne are all more striking than that thing. At least the Ferrari Purosangue jumps out at you and makes you say "what the fuck is that"

>>28496687
>>28497109
Are you intentionally missing the point that both of the vehicles you posted have about half the frontal area of the hideous contraption in the OP?

>>28501346
Let's also not forget that the H1's width came from never being intended for domestic sale.

>>28498209

That's a Toyota Alphard and it has looked like that since forever. I can't believe there are retards out there paying extra for the Lexus badge.

i will take this opportunity to inform you that for at least a few years now, escalade Vs have crackle tunes from the factory. not sure if optional or not. it seems that gm in an oddly non-retarded management decision are aware of their buyer's demographics

>>28501604
They have independent rear suspension but are still very much body on frame

>>28502163
That grille's frankly improved by mandatory front plates.
I've also seen mods where people cut a hole in the grille below the plate to install a wide light bar, which at least makes some use of all that space. It's not like an economy car like that has any use for extra cooling air anyway. In a cold enough climate it might actually run better most of the year with the whole grille blocked.

>>28501604
It's not unibody, dumbass. And they haven't used leaf springs since 2000.

>>28496506
It surprisingly looks better in person than in photos. And while it's not a car that anyone should buy, it's a perfect rental for sunny places, it does everything a family of four might want on a vacation and it's a fun novelty while having mostly regular car maintenance.

They do that because they are at the absolute maximum size allowed on the roads, but the designers still want them to look bigger. Having the panel jut out and back and jut back out again makes it look like bigger than it is. It's stupid, but so are the buyers of these behemoths.

The worst part about Urus is that it's not even like the first Cayenne, Touareg-based but with its own engine. It's just an RS Q8 with chip tuning and a bodykit.

what's interesting about that it that almost all the best selling chinese cars now were designed by germans or have germans working on the design team

>>28507294
It's a good thing germoid opinions matter very little. In fact they don't matter at all.
