When I saw the R3X I thought they had brought an early 1980s VW Golf on stage.

I thought of a Renault LeCar, or less charitably, a Yugo.

Oh dear, it does have a Yugo feel...

I don't know if I'd go as far as a Yugo, but the other extreme is manufacturers making EVs so stylistically distinct that it's a fashion statement. Think BMW i3 or the Cybertruck.
