          I would probably take a pt cruiser just because of the reputational risk of driving a cyber truck - that people will think you’re an Elon stan. But purely from a looks perspective I think the cyber truck looks way better.

          Yeah I know some people like it. Only reason it was on my mind was my mom was talking about wanting one the other day and I had to look it up.

        I can see the Multipla being uglier than the Cybertruck because it looks like two differently-sized cars spliced together. However, there is no way I agree the PT Cruiser, Chevy SSR, and Aztec are uglier than the Cybertruck. Look at the Cybertruck again. It looks like a 10 year-old drew a truck on MS Paint using a mouse.

          Taste is subjective so if someone doesn’t like it that’s valid.

          For me, designs are successful based on the impression and experience they give people. The cyber truck to me gives off a futuristic vibe, it’s intentional, it’s a design that knows what it wants. Minimal polygons, minimal rounded edges. Uncommon material/finish. Visually striking, unique, memorable.

          I think the Aztec isn’t a good design because it wants to be futuristic but doesn’t go far enough. Because it’s trying to retain some traditional elements it looks like design by committee.

          My impression is the pt cruiser and SSR were intended to be modern takes on retro/classy designs from say, the 50s. In the sense that they’re curved they succeed, but the curves are in the wrong places and the curve radiuses are wrong. They look bubbly. They look like toys. The effect is amplified because they don’t have a lot of the fine detail that was present on old cars.
