My own take on the fat Negan meme

So I wanted to do my take on a small, EV ute, but make it something a little bolder, more interesting, it's even less conventional than something like a ranchero or El Camino.

The thought process was you're seeing with a lot of these electric trucks, designers are taking boxy traditional truck design cues, and trying to do things like make the hood shorter for packaging, give the hood a sloping front end for aero, and a sail pillar behind the bed. Trying to do all of that while retailing a traditional truck look just looks terrible imo.

But I thought to myself, cab forward proportions, a coupe style roofline, a sloping front end, those are all attributes mid-engine supercars have, so what if you designed a ute that instead of trying to look like a conventional truck, looked like a mid-engine supercar with a bed. Something that could appeal to people by looking and driving like a sports coupe, while having way more storage space and practicality than any supercar ever made because where the engine is normally is a bed.

Initially I pulled more inspiration from fluid 60s designs, but since switched to the more squared off 80s supercar shapes because it worked better visually as a ute imo. Still making some tweaks, but I'm getting closer.
