For me, it's honestly not because they are polarizing. Id say I often enjoy the function over the form. My comment was mostly the main point, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
For the Aztec, I liked the flattened/angled back, when everything else was becoming more rounded. I also liked the early Prius design for the same reason.
For the Baja, a light AWD car with an itty bitty truck bed for muddy/dirty crap was cool.
For the element, its a box on wheels, the doors open opposite and they open wide, making them really convenient for packing a lot of things or people in them really quickly. Vans are nice for the same reason, but the element to me was just more aesthetically pleasing than a van.
And for the cyber truck, I honestly love the idea of an electric off road vehicle with ugly ass stainless steel panels for the body. Hit a rock or a tree? Oh well, carve that panel off and tack weld a replacement to it. Paint? Why?
That being said, the criticism of the result of the cyber truck, I fully agree with. It delivered on none of the promises of ruggedness or capability. It was a flop. And Elon is a fuckwad.
