Most cars in that era were insanely bland as well. And this particular image isn't even from a production car, it's a concept. If we are just looking at awesome exceptions from these days, then Honda E or Hyundai Ioniq 5 could make the list and you can actually buy and drive them.
I know it's a concept, and modern manufacturers wouldn't consider making a car with that style today anyway. I just wish there were more goods to buy that looked like they came out of Star Trek: TNG instead of the modern "sleek" design.
"Shut up!" They hated them because they spoke the truth.
