But why did they have to make it look like the awkward love child of marvin the paranoid android and a whale? Put that platform under a Pagoda SL look-a-like and ride the wave of love it would generate. How else are you going to combat the instant iterative capabilities of BYD ? It makes me quite sad.
One does occasionally cast an eye over the latest offerings from these so-called ‘up-and-coming’ automakers, only to be met with what can best be described as design déjà vu. It’s as if they’ve raided the parts bin of every major marque and cobbled together a sort of Frankenstein’s motorcar — part homage, part plagiarism, and entirely devoid of charm. The whole exercise smacks of desperation, wrapped in cheap chrome and dashed hopes. I daresay one might find more originality at a village fête bake-off. Uninspired, unimaginative, and about as appealing as cold tea on a rainy Tuesday.
