It's funny, the Japanese aesthetic is my favorite for all things home. Their cars, on the other hand, have never resonated with me. I think they all look silly and cheap, almost like they don't take themselves seriously. The Bolt was actually designed at GM's facility in Korea, which goes a long way to explain its looks. They're trying to capture that part of the population that would buy a Korean or Japanese economy car. Not a wise move, IMO, because there's a reason many of us who would love a fuel efficient car won't buy one--because most of them make me queasy.

This on the other hand:

This is would buy... Except that it's like $70k, so, yeah...

Hey, I like Danish Modern. Danish Modern cars?

Yeah, I lived with those wretched little things for the first half of my life. Pass.
