Oh yeah. I've definately seen some renders that make it look quite nice, but they do that by adding a bunch of elements to it like skirts, extended wheel arches, spoilers, light bars, paint and lower it to the point you can't use it as a truck anymore.
But then it also really stops being what it origionally was.
The idea that anyone used one as a truck, or that it could even reasonably be used as one is pretty laughable.
But if I was a man child who wanted a toy car the Chinese one at least looks less like a bin on wheels. https://www.carscoops.com/2025/05/gacs-cybertruck-inspired-pickup-launching-in-2027/
I mean, most people don't use trucks as trucks.
