A fantastic example of this can be seen in the just-unveiled 2023 Genesis G90… Read more... source https://jalopnik.com/hundai-kia-continues-their-lighting-design-onslaught-wi-1848140048

This may be a bit of a hot take to post here on Jalopnik Dot Com, but I personally think vehicles should be fun. Sure, you could get a Corolla, or you could spice it up a bit with a Civic Si . You could buy a Boston Whaler, or spend that same money on a used wakeboard boat.

I’ll be the first to admit that the charms of Tesla’s not-yet-extant but already quite profitable upcoming electric pickup truck, the boldly-designed Cybertruck, are kind of lost on me. I adore weird and risky automotive designs, but the Cybertruck just doesn’t seem to be designed to be an actually usable truck.

Kia Debuts The 2023 Niro With A Rather ... Interesting Redesign

Image
For Kia to call the new Niro’s exterior design a refresh is an understatement. Designed with the brand’s “Opposites United” philosophy and drawing heavily from the 2019 HabaNiro concept (which should’ve told us everything we needed to know—I mean its right there in the name), the design is well ... interesting.

Watch An Incredibly Stupid Wreck Because Water Bottles Can't Drive Cars

Image
I have a lot of problems with Level 2 semi-automated driver assist systems from all carmakers, and while Tesla tends to get most of the attention with their Autopilot system, the truth is they’re all inherently flawed.
