Marek Reichmann has arguably made an even bolder/worse design on a pure electric car - depending upon your point of view - with the Lagonda Vision Concept. 

It seems that designers want to try and force through a change in perception of how a car should look. They should pay heed to what happened to Renault every time Patrick Le Quément adopted a similar approach - Avantime, Vel Satis etc. The Japanese manufacturers have also tried to give their hybrid models quirky styling but it just does not have wide enough appeal. How many more Leafs or Prius models could/would have been sold if the styling was more contemporary. Ellon Musk shrewdly realised this and kept the Model S styling far closer to that of a conventional ICE car.
