Here’s a challenge which may just get you as confused because the Vogon poetry appreciation society: Try to seek out a vehicle more visually underwhelming than the VW ID Buzz. It’s like someone took the concept of “retro cool” and turned it into “retro bland.” This electric minibus screams nostalgia but in the identical way a mullet haircut does at a contemporary fashion show.
The VW ID Buzz, with its rounded, friendly face, may need been hoping to ride the wave of the ’60s bus charm, but as a substitute, it looks like it has been disregarded within the rain too long, its once vibrant paint now a dull whisper. It’s as if VW designers said, “Let’s make it appear to be it’s already been through a cross-country road trip with a band of hippies who discovered modern art.”
But, if we’re being cosmic about this, could the Chevrolet Bolt EUV be a contender? It manages to mix into traffic like a chameleon with an identity crisis, sporting a design that seems to apologize for its existence. Yet, in its defense, a minimum of it doesn’t attempt to be hip but finally ends up looking prefer it’s wearing last decade’s cargo shorts.
So, the ID Buzz might just win the award for “Most Disappointing Design Attempting to Be Fun,” but on this universe, competition within the realm of vehicular disappointment is stiffer than a board meeting at Slartibartfast’s Fjord Design Corporation.
A lot anticipation and a FOREVER wait for THIS? Man, WHAT a letdown.
The just one I do know of is the profile of the Hyundai Ioniq 6. But I’ll leave it to the spies for feedback…
Because of Agent 00K for the shot!
