Its not just about North America. |
No, but obviously the largest automobile markets shouldn't be ignored.
#1 China (they seem to like futuristic and strange looking cars)
#2 U.S. (Conservative exteriors with lavish interiors)
#3 EU (anything goes exteriors and simple utilitarian interiors)
(Have I generalized enough LOL)
I'm surprised BMW i decided to go so "futuristic" with the designs. I personally love the styling of the i8 - but that should have been the BMW 850i (another topic...). Tesla has certainly proved that an EV doesn't have to say, "Look at my strange car - I'm helping the planet." That's why I bought one versus the 650i Gran Coupe I was close to committing to. EV is absolutely without a doubt the car of the future (coming from a car guy).
