Never mind the R2 SUV, it's the R3 that looks pretty interesting!

I don’t mind it at all. Looks “cute”. I’d just hope Rivian will be around long enough to see these to production.

I like them but they are 2 and 3 years out still. Anything can happen before then.

I think it looks pretty good. Was thinking more Lancia than Lada.

Yeah I love the R3/R3X styling. Looks like the following to me in no particular order:

-Lada Niva
-Lancia Delta
-Hyundai Pony
-Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon

Looks great to me. One of the few EVs I'd consider buying.
