what s wrong with this picture doppelganger for the dumb edition

As a kid, I remember playing a little game to help pass the time on road trips: every time something low, wide and red drove past I’d shout “Ferrari!” and laugh as the other kids in the car got whiplash trying to catch a glimpse of the Corvette, Trans-Am, or 3000GT I’d purposefully misidentified. Perhaps Hofele had that game in mind when it designed this R8-alike-ish bodykit for the A5. Of course, it’s also possible that they just though it looks good. You never know with tuners.

I am all for getting away from that "monochromatic" look that's ben done to death, but this seems like just random pieces purchased off the rack at Pep Boys or from a JC Whitney catalog and stuck where ever someone thought they'd fit. Pretty awful.

Analoggrotto Ford wishes it could be Hyundai Kia Genesis.
John I used to have a 2016 Chevy Spark EV (leased, 85 miles range when new) as our family's 3rd car. Loved it. When the lease ended the only cheap EV was the bolt but I couldn't stomach the tuperware interior so I bought a used Cayman instead and have been waiting now for another a cheap EV for almost 5 years. My bigger problem would be that I dislike giving Elon Musk even more $$, but the tesla supercharger network makes long trips (within CA at least) an option.
SCE to AUX "...it’s unclear how Ford plans to reach profitability with cheaper vehicles, as it’s slowed investments in new factories and other related areas"Exactly. They need to show us their Gigafactories that will support the high-demand affordable EV volume.
1995 SC I have a "Hooptie" EV. Affordable would be a step up.
Buickman if they name it "Recall" there will already be Brand Awareness!
