1: It's a perfectly cromulent place to stick the tail lights. 2: Odds are the strip lights below are the sort that exist to be the lights when the tailgate is up.

Well thats ugly as gently caress. I can't wait for the dog bone looking brake lights fail in such a way they then look like dicks.

Ambassadorofsodomy posted:Well thats ugly as gently caress. Meh. I find I’m already getting used to it, and that’s after seeing just a few pictures. It’s not the most immediately aesthetically pleasing, but I like the pseudo-retro vibe. Kia and Hyundai have rapidly become one of the carmakers I respect most. They try things, they get better between attempts, and all of their offerings that I sampled as rentals were at the very least “competent with some real highlights thrown in”

Yea that just doesn't work for me. Move the lights up and the badging down. Ambassadorofsodomy posted:I can't wait for the dog bone looking brake lights fail in such a way they then look like dicks. This is gonna be excellent, yea

moxieman posted:The Flex was what every stupid cuv should be: boxy to maximize the usable interior volume. I applaud Hyundai for finally coming around to the idea. Agree the taillights are weird but who’s ever bought a Hyundai crossover for its looks? And that's precisely what soccer moms hated about the Flex. Now we have Explorers with less space but with the looks that get buyers all hot and bothered.

Ambassadorofsodomy posted:Well thats ugly as gently caress. Hyundai needs to understand this new "H" thing they are doing with lights, doesnt look like an H. it looks like Pixel art dog bones, and it looks like poo poo. I like the boxy look of this vehicle but all the other stuff like the fake Rover window things, the dog bones, the low sagging rear lights all just gently caress it up.

Either it's new enough and valuable enough to have good insurance coverage at which point you really only care about your deductible and not the value of repairs, or it's gotten old enough and you're underinsured and you're not going to fix it or they're readily available in junk/salvage yards. Or you buy the cheapest replacement parts you can find on eBay or Aliexpress.

Dr. Lunchables posted:I don’t think you can put tail lights on a deck lid in the US. Maybe another reason they’re so low: you still need a big rear end door but don’t have room for lights on the D Pillars My best guess is that the handle location was picked for ergonomics and by putting lights to either side it simplifies the entire hatch assembly. Those lower lights are almost certainly compliance lights since the hatch eats up side pillar width and they didn't want to take up any interior space on the lip like Lucid did on their enormous trunk.

If I recall wasn't some variation of the Mini equipped with clear plastic lenses in the hatch, and the actual tail lights were in the rear pillars?

It was killing me trying to remember which other newer car had a weird rear light set up since the entire rear light set goes up with the trunk. Its the iX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuWmTXphMCo&t=1140s Timestamped it since I assume you all are Already on Cars and Bids

Yea I saw that when I went to wiki to check what exactly the model was after I posted my initial comment. Then I saw it was on their USA site. It's $15K more expensive than the Leaf, and by my guess $0 of that went into the design of it

I will say the interior felt nice for a Nissan, but that version I sat in was sixty thousand American dollars. That's unaffordable, and even if I could, there are way too many better cars for the price.

Disgruntled Bovine posted:https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-nissan-skyline-will-become-an-electric-suv-report Skyline, much like the Mitsubishi Lancer, has been a sorta boring sedan with a halo racing variant for a lot of time. Making it a electric suv is unsurprising since it's the type that moves unit nowadays.
