You are correct. There is no accounting for taste. I like it.First I've seen in this color... It is not pretty... Very gimmicky looking in red for sure. Of course that is just my opinion, which isn't worth any more than anyone esle's...

I could buy two Nissan Versas for the price of a top trim Maverick, so six Versas for the price of a Rivian. or twelve Versas for the price of a G-Wagon AMG.
Thinking about carrying a Versa in the Rivian or Maverick Bed for a quick Knight Rider getaway out the back.
I think I'd rather have Two mavericks and motorcycles to put on them, and a trailer instead of one rivian. I really dislike todays
"an electric vehicle has to LOOK overtly electric"
Despite over a century of aesthetics and ergonomics to look back on. But for some reason electric vehicles be they bike, car, or truck have to scream at everyone visually that they're electric while looking like a low-resolution version of a vehicle from a 90s video game.

There is so much reverse snobbery on this thread. The folks who are buying Rivians have done well in life. $70,000 and change is a rounding error. So give them a break, and don't be so petty folks.

You failed the reading comprehension exam. If you look at my post, you'll see I was referring to the R2, to be announced March 7 by Rivian.

Smaller and more affordable Ford BEVs may be coming soon, and it looks like there might be a small truck in the mix. If they started this project two years ago, soon would be sometime after 2026 (4 to 6 years to develop a new car platform).
What pleases me in this interview is that Farley has his head in the right place. He sees the competition coming from China and Korea. He sees that the masses aren't ready for BEVs quite yet. He sees that price is critical for some (not all) Ford products. And lastly, he sees that BEVs are the no-brainer answer down the road, and that he won't have a company a decade from now if Ford doesn't have a wide selection of appealing BEVs.

You're so right about color. Not only do we all differ, but sometimes we change what we like over the years. I loathed reds in my youth (40 years ago) - I hated red cars. Then I got a red Miata. There are some reds that work for me, some that don't. Mazda especially has some awesome reds. And I have a HPR Maverick parked outside my window right now.First I've seen in this color... It is not pretty... Very gimmicky looking in red for sure. Of course that is just my opinion, which isn't worth any more than anyone esle's...
Also, i think the same color can look good on one car but look bad on another car. Which always has me scratching my head.
