Whilst, with the exception of the Lotus Emira, and the facelift Vantage possibly, there isn't really any new car I think is good looking / desirable, current EV design is particularly grim. Not sure if its the desire to create something 'different', or just the challenge if hiding a very large battery.

Designing for global markets and taking consumer market share when differentiation becomes ever harder when all products are “good enough”.
There probably is a view that EV buyers are less conservative than ICE buyers?
I think there are enough shapes out there to say that hiding the battery isn’t overly important - thinking of large battery EVs around the 100kwh mark, we have Taycan, Rivian R1, Tesla S and X, Audi Q8 etrons, Kia EV9 etc. etc. Ranging from low slung saloon/hatch/estate (Taycan and Model S) to proper ride height SUV (Rivian) via a couple of lower riding SUVs of various shapes.
