    Maybe you can counsel them on a career in “armchair social media influencer”.

    Aim high, right?

      Not sure I follow. They designed them for social media? Or do you think I said anything referencing social media?

      Did you mean to reply to some other comment?

        You’re judging the vehicle purely on how it looks and using that to suggest the designer should change careers; an impressively shallow take, but also a learning opportunity. The other reply draws the same kind of assumption, albeit with a degree of tongue-in-cheek, to make an ironic accusation that you are qualified enough as an “armchair influencer” to train the vehicle’s designer in the new career that you said they ought to seek.

          I’m judging only the vehicle’s appearances, not the entire vehicle.

          Here’s an exhaustive list of things I know about this vehicle.

          1. It’s ugly.

          I assume it’s a huge upgrade over the Grumman LLV. For all I know, it could be the best vehicle in the world for that purpose, with the best drivetrain and battery tech available, and a huge cargo area to handle the present day’s e-commerce workload.

          It’s just ugly, that’s all.

          … that you are qualified enough as an “armchair influencer” to train the vehicle’s designer in the new career that you said they ought to seek.

          This is the confusing part for me. Where did I say that they should seek a career in being an influencer, or that I’m one? I’m not even remotely qualified in that field, and would never claim to be.

            I don’t know how you don’t think the new truck is adorable. It’s like a toy car, and I mean that as a compliment.

            It fits perfectly into some hanna barbera depiction of a pleasant neighborhood.
