The 3 best new car designs for 2020/2021 are American

A lot of OT'ers prefer German or Japanese branded cars, but I don't see any new foreign car that is anywhere near as well executed as the C8 Corvette, Ford Bronco, or the Hummer EV.

Can you name any new for 2020/2021 vehicle that's better executed that the three new cars below? I can't.

The C8 offers mid engine performance, excellent styling, and a great interior (something new for Corvette) for a $60,000 base price. This is about half of what you'd pay for a mid engine European car, and will likely be much cheaper to keep running than anything from Germany or Italy. Corvette engineers toyed with the idea of moving the car to a rear-mid engine configuration for several generations. They correctly concluded that the C7 went about as far as anyone could go with a front-mid engine design. The C8 exceeded all of my expectations and I'm looking forward to the Z06 model next year. You are going to be on a waiting list if you want one of these game-changers.



Tied for 1st place - the Bronco. For the Bronco, Ford did something that they rarely do: They tried. This thing looks like a very well executed off road rig. It has the right price, offers the right accessories, and looks incredible. It even seems more practical than the Jeep Wrangler and LR Defender. If Ford put this kind of effort into all of their vehicles, they'd dominate the world marketplace. The only regret they should have about the Bronco is that they didn't bring it back sooner - they've already sold out of the first batch of models that they will release. I'm sure that Chevrolet, Nissan, and Toyota are strongly considering retro-styled competitors to the Bronco now.



Runner Up is the Hummer EV; which is also an American product. I wasn't expecting much more than an electric GMC Sierra with a new grill, but this thing blew away my expectations. The design looks great, the technology it offers is cutting edge, and it is the expensive EV supertruck status symbol for 2021. It's definitely the start of a major paradigm shift for an old, American car company. If their other EV's are as well executed as the Hummer EV, they (and Honda, who has partnered with General Motors) will do very well.



I've totally forgotten about the hideous Tesla Robo-truck thing because of this Hummer EV. Hummer has already sold out of all 2021 models ($113,000 each), so if you don't have a deposit already in for an Edition One model, you aren't getting one until 2022.

What other new 2020/2021 car designs were anywhere as well executed as the above three?

The new Acura products are okay, but they aren't ground breaking designs. BMW seems to think that bigger grills are all that customers demand. The 2021 rear drive Toyota Mirai has some potential, but it's not coming until 2022. The Supra was downright disappointing. Not bad, but not what it should have been. It's been completely overshadowed by the C8 Corvette. The Tesla Model Y looks like a solid product, but it's really just a crossover version of what we've already seen from them.
