VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture

Just you wait, these will be iconic and sought after in about 20 years, lol. People will be doing pet projects on them just like the Subaru bugeyes of the 00s. Which people also thought were weird looking, haha.

I'm glad they start doing something different with the front. I hate the electric cars that still have the ventilation slits for where the cars radiator used to be, but have them filled in with black plastic, as they serve no purpose anymore.

New hardware begs me design and shoehorning in the old design aesthetic is both lazy as well as proof of a lack of vision.

2020 seems to be the decade of awful tail lights but Rivian is definitely trying to set a new trend here. Those would be a total deal breaker for me if I was looking for an electric truck which is shame because otherwise it's a nice vehicle.

After all these years any time a company with a poor product buys a company with a good product, I've stopped assuming the poor product will become more like the good product

I really like the way they look. I think it's just one of those designs you either love or really hate. That angle is goofy though.

I remember when they got rid of the old WRX design. I thought the new ones looked stupid.

But they were right. Now when you look at the old ones they look cringe

Even cars like the Nissan cube and the CJ cruiser honestly my opinions have totally changed

It probably means the scout is going to build on Rivian's platform.
