Porsche / Audi are selling a lot more cars then they were 10-15 years ago. I think they will be okay. Chinese brands will cut into all establish automaker sales, but the German cars have strong brands that symbolize luxury. Look at Land Rover. There are cars are completely unreliable and they are selling more than ever at increasingly ludicrous prices.

I agree with you, but luxury car manufactures largely sell leases. So they are designing their cars for that market.

I am very much interested in electric cars that look like normal cars. I understand the battery changes things. But why they have to shit up the design of 75% of electric cars is nonsensical to me

Early adopters of electric cars apparently want their cars to look like electric cars, but I am with you. Make them look normal and blend in a stop doing wonky things with the rest of the car like making door handles that are finicky and cumbersome. We already solved that problem.

Designers can’t help themselves when given the freedom to take things in a new direction, they forget there might be practical reasons for the old designs. (See Liquid Glass.)
