    Not much for the Sketch Monkey to criticize- especially on such a clean design. While he did criticize the tail pipes for possible excessive length (debatable), I'm surprised he did not say anything about the black area on the rear of the deck lid. IMHO, it looks too much like a 911 Carerra T.

    Those rear seat headrests just kill the design for me.

    One of the great things about electric is you can design the shapes differently. You don't have a giant motor to cover up somewhere and generally speaking you don't have a giant radiator in front. The car proportions can change .

    The plan with the Marc Newson 021C https://marc-newson.com/ford-021c-concept-car/ is to return it to its original Pantone “021C” orange. Fortunately everything is there and in pretty good shape. It is an iconic concept first shown at the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show. Designed by Marc Newson and J Mays. It is the only one ever made. Built at Ghia in Italy.

    Lyriq light show's pretty cool (would A.I. come up w/something like that?). Alternatively, w/Tesla a front license plate is a zero-compromise opportunity ...

    At first I wasn't so sure about the Lyriq Ginza at night light display. But now, I've bought into it. On lookers and bystanders are mesmerized.

    The motor is one thing, but the 'giant rad' hasn't been an issue for over 30 years. F or example the 1990 Corvette with its big-ish V8 managed to draw all the cooling air required from below the front fascia. The current 'air intakes' have grown ever larger as the need for them has technically been reduced to minimal.
    Maybe a bit harsh but I put this down to lazy design/marketing - and the fear of change.

    Instead of shade tree engineering, shade tree design. Why not?:eek:

    Wonder if the roof ornament was the finishing touch? Or maybe it was up in the rafters and someone said "this thing needs a car" ...?
