Modern MG

[Polarbear]

I was out yesterday and I think I've seen the car with the ugliest, most pointless front end ever, The electric MG. I had to come home and look it up and believe me, it looks worse in real life than it does in the photo below.

I gather it's Chinese made and costs 30 grand which would be enough to put me off but that front, WTF. Is it meant to look like a standard car grill without having to make one? Was it designed by a kid sticking his fingers in playdough. It's utterly hideous.

Looks like 90% of butt fugly SUV/Crossover/Chelsea tractors about these days tbh.

You could put any badge on it and it would be believable.

Electirc innit - no radiator grille like you're used to

FWIW Volvos are as bad or worse..

It's not helped by the fact its an ICE car/SUV converted to BEV

Not all electric cars have to look that bad (though most do), check out this retro looking truck, like Marty McFly's car from Back to the Future

You see these faux radiator grills with a lot of EV designs - it does look crap and is vaguely patronising - instead they should capitalise on having all this extra frontal space to play with that doesn't need to accomodate a radiator grill, and come up with a new and original front lighting array - something that makes the car unmistakeably electric.

As it's an electric car, said front lighting should really be developed by Lucas, prince of darkness.

If it's made too pointy it increases the chance of serious injury for a pedestrian in a slow speed collision.

Original Audi TT is, I think the last original looking car. Then Audi went and bolloxed it up. Perfect front end shape for an EV as well, not sharp enough to break your legs in two but nicely and slightly wierdly curved.
