There are a few reasons as to why the BMW i3 hasn\u2019t really been a sales success<\/a> here in the US. Its lack of range compared to its rivals, its lack of meaningful horsepower and its high price are all some of the reasons why the i3 has been a bit of a sales dud. However, the main reason has always been its styling. While some enthusiasts love it for its quirky, strangeness (I\u2019m one of them), most customers just don\u2019t seem to like it at all. In fact, Motor Trend<\/a> recently named it one of the ugliest cars of the 2010s.<\/p>\n

There are a few reasons as to why the BMW i3 hasn\u2019t really been a sales success here in the US. Its lack of range compared to its rivals, its lack of meaningful horsepower and its high price are all some of the reasons why the i3 has been a bit of a sales dud. However, the main reason has always been its styling. While some enthusiasts love it for its quirky, strangeness (I\u2019m one of them), most customers just don\u2019t seem to like it at all. In fact, Motor Trend recently named it one of the ugliest cars of the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Motor Trend wasn\u2019t kind to the i3, saying it\u2019s \u201cso ugly that no one with properly-functioning retinas will want one.\u201d Ouch. It might not be that<\/em> ugly but it\u2019s certainly no beauty. One thing I will contest is the comment against its interior. The BMW i3 might be odd on the outside but it\u2019s superb inside. The cabin is a wonderfully unique take on a modern car interior and it was done back in 2014. The fact that so many new concept cars<\/a> for the future have interiors so similar to the i3 proves its worth.<\/p>\n

Obviously, style is subjective, so there will be differences of opinion about whether or not the i3 is one of the ugliest cars of the last decade. However, it\u2019s certainly among the most controversial and that\u2019s enough to warrant consideration for this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
