So much ugly in one picture.

I just find those trucks to be hideous looking. I get it, it is supposed to be a "work" truck, but they are still ugly.

No one is going to buy this car (Panamera) for its looks, which means it will just be bought by people for whom sex is no longer important. Which makes a change from the usual Porsche customer, I suppose.

Panamera???? It is not a Panamera.

Not going to address the rest of your comment since it would probably get me banned from the site. But, let's just say my Taycan Cross Turismo draws way more of a certain type of attention than a Land Rover. And, I should know since I drove multiple Autobiography Land Rovers in the past.


Please enjoy your Defender. I am sure you will have many trouble free years with it.

I've heard plenty of people say that about the R1T as well...

Totally get that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In the eyes of this beholder the F-150 cannot hold a candle to the Rivian. Nothing special about the F-150 since it is the same body style you see on a gazillion other F-150's on the road.

Let me guess- threats of violence?

Maybe you should just try to stop being too easy to mock…

also full disclosure: I had a Panamera but not the Turismo. Style wise Taycan is just an EV variant- a distinction without a difference…

I like both honestly. R1T looks like a sporty truck, and F-150 just looks like a truck that most people won't notice is electric.

Agreed.

I will get back to you after I watch a video about some random charging location in the middle of no where and that I will never use and then post about if it is poorly designed. Because that is what cool people who own new Defenders do!

Mock away! I can take it.

function over form matters more to me when it comes to a truck. If someone is driving to Whole Foods and glamping a couple of times a year the R1T is pretty good. But some people need a truck that can provide particular functions (e.g., R1T has too weak of a front end to handle a snow plow).

I dunno, my family all has trucks. They like the lightning, but think the R1T looks stupid as hell (literally what one said). The R1T is a bit smaller as well so easier to compare to the Ranger.
