Has someone forgotten to turn up the graphics details on this? It's like a minimum setting design, so the frame rates are a touch higher.

Sort of a 1982 Sci Fi Vision of how cars will look in 2020.

I really don't understand the design at all, I just can't see the people they want to sell that to actually buying it. Plus I find it pretty funny that the windows shattered when they were showing how strong they were

It's... um...distinctive!

I suppose trying to make an aerodynamically efficient pickup the overall shape makes sense and rather than trying to shoehorn traditional chunky pickup styling cues on to hide such an odd shape, they decided to make a feature of it. I assume there's a load cover which follows the slope of the "C pillars" down to the tailgate to create a teardrop shape when it's closed.
