I can see your point. I do prefer concepts closer to reality as well. I will refrain from judging though until I see how much of the design was retained (or could be retained) while of course complying with all safety regulations. A design is still much about marketing, it often just gets serious with the prototype. I’d also prefer it another way.

That said, the Renault Twingo did keep its funky headlights, although with a bit more financial headroom at 20k EUR instead of 15k.
