Because it IS an “econobox”. That’s the point.

One site compared the styling to Land Rover Defender, so maybe not so “econo” box.

FFS, just because it IS and econobox doesn't mean it HAS to LOOK like one.
But if the point IS to TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AN ECONOBOX, then Job Done.

An American Kei truck.
I paid my $50 to reserve.
With my dirt-cheap electricity (~$0.10/kWh all-in, 24/7) it would be a great commuter.

While the existing auto companies want to try and sell you an over weight, lumbering and Fugly land yacht to maximize their own profits, along comes a new company with the right size vehicle.
Under $20,000 and keeps within the KISS principle, perfect.

Supposedly smaller than a Maverick. With only a standard cab the bed can be larger. The body panels are composite rather than metal.
I find it interesting but I am not in the market for a new vehicle.

I like unique autos, but I think it is very ugly.
