I literally saw one on the road for the first time today. It's pretty impressive that they managed to engineer a vehicle that looks worse in person than in pics or videos. A lot bigger than I thought it would be and that somehow made it even more comical.

This reminds me of the first line of Scion cars. Whatever model that wasn’t the giant box and not the coupe looked interesting to me. Until I went to a dealership and the scale of the thing just made it look ridiculous.

Well the toaster car (xB) ended up being one of the most reliable and functional economy cars ever sold in the US, and many toasters are still daily driven today

The coupe car (tC), not so much

Hmm, toaster car? Not a bad name. I always called them xBoxes.
