Yes, at least the Smart looks ok. But that Citroen thing is totally ugly: it reminds me of the car that the billionaire was using in one scene in Silicon Valley when leaving the restaurant, where it's actually only half a car. But Silicon Valley is satire.
It's weird that a country like France so well known for its luxury brands and "savoir faire" can come up with such an ugly car.
I'm not 15 and yet there's no way I'll ever use something as fugly as an Ami.
A Tesla Model S or a Porsche Taycan looks good though (and also looks like something that as a higher probability to save your life in case of a frontal crash).
But then... As the (french) saying goes: to everyone's bad tastes. My bad tastes are Model S and Taycan, pick yours!
- jgilias 6y agoI have a conspiracy theory that the established car manufacturers wouldn't make normal looking EVs as they couldn't justify spending so much on R&D that would yield something that would cannibalize sales of their other models. So they'd try hard to come up with a new niche for EVs. So it literally took an outsider to come in and start eating their lunch to hit them out of the cozy equilibrium they found themselves in. Looks like Citroen didn't get the memo though.
- ulfw 6y agoThe Ami costs 6,000EUR to buy, a Porsche Taycan or Tesla S depending on spec easily 100,000EUR. Why you even compare those? They're not even in the same world.
