I would agree, but could also make that argument about the majority of new cars. Look at a BMW recently? Full of tech, bloated, heavy, unreliable, and many of them are ugly. Far cry from the good old days of the E28, E30, E34, and 2002. Even most modern Porsches don’t do it for me from a design standpoint.
