But why do they keep making those eco concept cars look so goofy? Wouldn't it be better marketing if it looked cool instead? I don't get it...

  1. it's not meant to be marketed for sales. It's not for sale.

  2. aerodynamics.

  1. It's designed for a very specific purpose for solar. Not for aesthetics.
  1. It only looks goofy because you're not normalized to it. Current car design would look goofy 50 years ago.
