Am I the Only One Who Thinks R3 Looks Dated Circa 1980s

Well, nobody thought The Mullet would make a comeback either, did they? And now here we are.

...except those of us who grew up in FL. WE have always known the merits of a good Mullet.

I got rid of my Mini Cooper S to get the R1T. I do love the R1T but I miss the way the Mini handled. The R3X looks like it absolutely rips. Look how far out to the corners the wheels are compared to every car mentioned in this thread. Like that Mini, this thing promises to be an amazing road hugger. <Insert "Take My Money" gif here>

Who thought fanni-packs would make a come back… but kids these days love them and brought the look back.

I LOVE the hot hatch/Gremlin look. VRrroooooooom!

More Lancia Rally but…
Personally I love it. But my first car was a green AMC Gremlin.

All those 80s cars look better than 90% of what’s on the road now. I think the R3X looks great, reminds me of the Golf Country I could never get back in the day.

Reminds me of my GTI I had for 12 years before the R1T. Going to be really difficult to resist buying an R3.

I think all of the Rivian options have a little history in them. One of the things I like about them as they are different from most of today’s designs without being over the top or gaudy.

Everything old is new again.

I had a puke green 75 Gremlin as my first car. Had a straight 6 and could do brake stands to the rims

Super dated.

I like it.

The first new car I was able to purchase myself was a 1986 Audi Coupe GT with red leather interior and BBS hoops. It was $17k or so and absolutely kicked ass. Total hot rod.

Such a classic!

Looks like VW Rabbit, Dodge Omni and so on...

And 1980 VW Rabbit

Yep. The R1 is classic and practical. The R2 is … practical. The R3 looks awful. Hopefully for Rivian these designs aren’t set in stone.

Short answer?:

Yes

It's a Dodge Omni, we had one growing up. I think everyone heard wrong, they said Throwupback...it's hideous.

It's your money, you spend it how you want.
