> walking away from the puzzling aesthetic

This thing looks like straight out of a sci-fi movie. I think the aesthetic is going to get them a lot of sales. If I had use for a car, this would be at the very top of my list, purely based on the looks.



I hated it at first. But the more I look at it, the more I like it. It's crazy and totally memeable, like a cross between Guy Fieri, Cosmo Kramer, and Jeff Goldblum.

I bet they'll get a ton of sales from people buying it ironically. Which, when you think about it, is why many people buy trucks in the first place - very few are buying it for utility.


Unless your use of ironic is in the vein of Alanis Morrissette, I doubt many folks have the funds to buy a vehicle...ironically...don’t cha think?


I don't think a car is something you purchase just for the meme.


There is a very interesting study done on Prius owners, where they are buying them for the smugness of the vehicle.


That has nothing to do with buying stuff for the memes


Yup. You need to apply only very little imagination here - this is just a paint job away from designs used in half of the sci-fi series of the last 20 years.
