Can't be the worst flop. The Cybertruck outsold the Ioniq 6 by roughly a 2:1 margin in the US. Both were introduced around the same time, and it sounds like Hyundai already pulled the 6 from the US market. But while the Cybertruck was a certified piece of crap, the Ioniq 6 was consistently rated at the top of available EV on the market. I guess sedans are pretty much DOA as a body style these days though.
The Ioniq 6 is hideous.
Inspired by a computer mouse. IoniQ5 has a waiting list.
Looks like a piece of art to me. I'd make your argument in reverse about how ugly the 5 is, but different strokes for different folks. I catch more people checking it out and then come talk to me about it when I walk up to my Ioniq 6 than I ever did driving a Corvette. Public opinion seems that it's nice, just too expensive for them. And for those that do want to invest in it, the 5 is more useful to most with the hatchback.
