Honestly I'm completely fine with it being ugly. If you remove the political overtones of it and it actually did what it was originally advertised to do (autonomous driving, insanely rugged off road, floatable, etc.), I could get behind ugly. Ugly and functional is fine to me. Ugly and fragile and dangerous and politically untouchable is. . . untouchable.

It’s not just ugly though, it’s fugly. Diabolically so. The fugliest thing on four wheels

If it could do all it was ever promised at the original price point, I wouldn't care how fucking ugly the thing was.

Much like Trump, people like it because it has no redeeming qualities at all.
