What do you think of the designs from Alpha Motors?

[JohnBills]

Alpha Motors is definitely going for a classic look—they seem inspired by the '85 Toyota SR5 and the like. What do you all think? Is this the right amount of retro and new? Is this what you're hoping for when you envision the new Scout? I'll definitely keep my eye of them. Curious if they'll make it to production and be able to support their products, but I'll at least give them points for style!

I like the flat, squared off fronts on their vehicle. It's different, but I'm not sure it's a great fit for all of the body-styles. Either way, there are definitely a few models such as the Wolf and Superrace, that I could see myself driving.

Love this company and the designs so far. Definitely on the list for me. I hope the new Scout can pull off something classic like this.

Agreed. Some of the models have much stronger design than the others.

Me, too. Which Alpha model is your favorite?

Oh man - the Coupe PE is fun. Kinda like a 60’s Skyline meets Nissan Figaro meets the future. I dig the Adventure Series a lot. The Estate is almost there too - but I think there’s something off with the length and angle of the front end/hood that makes it appear too rounded overall (if that makes sense). I want to love the crossover but (like most of the SUVs and Trucks) it’s got so much stuff tacked on I get Canyonero vibes.

Great Simpsons reference!

I like most of the Alpha designs. Great work study on how to to properly execute retro/modern in an EV.

First words that came to mind when I saw their designs a year or two ago were "inefficient" and "rusty". But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes people want a certain form over function. Much prefer where the new Scout is heading.

Now I have the Canyonero jingle running through my head! Amazing! I'm a big fan of the Rex but I don't want a two-door SUV.

They definitely won't gain any range from aerodynamics. That's for sure.

my initial reaction is that it looks like the truck marty gets at the end of back to the future.

when i looked on their website I think their look can be defined as "modern old." It really looks like they took old desigs and did minimal changes to make them "not old." i i don't consider that they made the designs modern because lots of aspects do not look truely modern.

they look certainly unique but to me it looks like they did minimal designing and more of copy paste with slight tweeks.
