I'm happy to have lived through the golden age of the automobile and rock & roll.
The future looks absolute sheit.

"Design by ruler and boxcutter" exhibits a profound lack of creativity, artistic sense, and aesthetic.

Toyota: Please hire some great designers, and allow them to unleash their abilities to create things of beauty!

Jeep/Hummer styling with functional interior in efficient Hybrid. Could do well like the FJ Cruiser did as a specialty model.

Just as BMW is missing the boat by using styling that makes their cars look smaller than they are - the EV world is stupid for using this outlandish styling. Hate to admit it - but at least the Tesla's LOOK like a real car - not some random group of Legos.

I believe the Bolt - if it had styling closer to the Cruze - would be selling a lot better than it does today. AND if it looked like a Malibu - the Model 3 would be in serious trouble.

Give me a break. A lot of Tesla buyers would never, ever consider a Chevy. Based on the experiences I had with Chevy 20 years ago I won't give them another $1.

Actually Bolt sales doing much better than the Volt, which is a Cruze twin.

I would expect a Camry based utility model to be coming but with more conventional design. The Tj Cruiser with 2L should be a Prius branded utility model being a hybrid. Maybe with the 4wd option some were expecting for Prius.
