Form Follows Function

Tonight we're going downtown to visit friends for dinner. I'm not sure if we'll go a bit earlier and head to the waterfront to get a look at the MS Nieuw Amsterdam. We will be leaving in two weeks and although we've seen (or been on) quite a few of Holland America's cruise ships, I'm not sure we ever really paid attention to this one.

We started the morning as we do most Saturdays with a trip to the grocery store. I parked beside a gasoline Hyundai Kona. So, I was able to snap a photo for comparison.



It is strange how quickly one gets used to the grill-less design. At first, I thought the KONA EV looked a bit 'faceless' but I have now grown quite attached to how my vehicle looks from the front. As people get used to EVs, designers will eventually do away with any pretense of a grill. There is no radiator, so it is stupid to keep a design point which serves absolutely no purpose. A ridiculous example is the Jaguar I-PACE.
