I am not a huge fan of the cybertruck, Elon, or Tesla but imo that Volkswagen looks exactly like a toy. I don't like it at all.

I personally don't think the cybertruck looks like a toy, it just looks weird and way too big. I don't really see the problem with the taillights except that they are way too high up.

I also don't think they made the cybertruck because they don't know how to make a futuristic car. They have competent designers that know how to make a imo decent looking car.

They (quite likely being forced by Elon) just wanted to create a unique car. It's likely that the design goal always was "a geometric stainless steel car" and not something they came up with after.

I personally think stainless steel cars look really cool, whether it's practical or not I don't know. A geometric car sound like it could be cool but this ain't it.
