That's not a defence when the coupe looks like a Prius instead of a proper prelude.

What was the audience for Prelude back in the day? Why didn't they buy like an E36 or Mx-5?

Porsche is set to break with 94 years of tradition in 2028 when it launches a replacement for the combustion-engined Macan, which will be its first production car with drive biased towards the front wheels. It will also adopt the similarly sized Q5’s Quattro Ultra drive system. But instead of heavily re-engineering it to offer a rear-biased four-wheel drive system – as Porsche did with the first Macan – it will instead be used largely unmodified for cost reasons.
LMFAO

Based on SG's review of the X3 vs SQ5, the SQ5 can already shuffle 70% of power to the rear wheels but be 100% FWD on the highway, so I'm expecting a direct port of that system with some minor tweaks.
The Macan was basically a reskinned Q5 from 3 generations ago, so this would be no different.

None of this surprises me. German automakers are broke and floundering in the wave of Chinese EV's.
Well BMW seems to want to double down on the pig ugly designs:
Welcome to the monstrocity known as the x5. yes, lets take the iX cuz that was so fucking well recieved, and apply it to all our suv's.
this new x3 is already fugly as hell.

I like it. I like the skinny nostrils and the narrow headlights. I do wish it was more shark nose but likely can't due to pedestrian regulations and aero.

You know you're old when cars you remember in your 20s are now popping up with collector plates
A couple weeks ago I saw a NB Miata with collector plates and I thought that was crazy.
Then I saw this EG Civic. That's wild to me.

More like the cr-z (another failure trying to replicate the CRX) or the OG hybrid first gen honda insight coupe.

I am curious - What made the CR-Z so bad and sell poorly?

I thought the CRZ looked great. I think what caught people off guard was rather than being a sporty newer version of the CRX, it was an anemic hybrid.

Gutless hybrid drivetrain ported directly from the Civic hybrid of the era, which itself was not that good. Based one what the CRX SHOULD have been in in the past, it should have gotten the R18 as base and K20/24 for a CRZ Si.
We got a 120hp hybrid drivetrain instead

I had an EP3 Civic and loved that car. CRZ had so much potential....

All the CRZ needed was a K20, but it was so short changed.

In my opinion, the new X3 looks terrible. And if the new X5 looks like that, I'm not sure which is worse - that or the iX.

The X3 does look terrible, but the iX3 has potential to look better. It's on a completely different platform. The new X3 is codenamed G45 which is just a modified version of the last G01.

I love it. That's one ugly rat-faced son of a biatch. With ugly, you have to go all the way. And I believe they accomplished that goal here.
Plus it looks like Rattrap which is cool.

That rattrap sucks though, and he fucked himself up good early in the series. I prefer the one in Beast Wars.

This is him in Beast Wars! In Season 2 he got blasted by a nuke or something, which gave him this Transmetal form.
Here's the robot form for Transmetal Rattrap:

You must've been thinking Beast Machines. Ya, fuck Beast Machines... I stopped watching after 2 episodes, total garbage.

My brother sent me a pic of this exact car on the weekend, noting the collector plates to make me feel old
