Ugly new electric explorer

Is it me or is the new electric Ford explorer one of the ugliest car/SUV I have ever seen, it reminds me of a 1950’s washing machine.

I have bought over 15 New Ford vehicles in my lifetime and I would never have this eyesore sitting anywhere near my Drive, I think Ford have got a turkey on their hands no matter how well it drives.

    I know what you are saying. What surprises me is that electric cars still have a relatively high, flat (ish) 'bonnet'. Surely, previously the only reason for a high bonnet was that it had to clear the height of an IC engine?  I thought we'd have more wedge shaped electric cars. I know the headlights have to be a certain height (hence the frog-eye Sprite) but how close to the front of the car do they have to be???
