I have seen this as click bait on the Associated Press website:

The two door handles are interesting.  .

Somehow my FB has been targeted by a variety of entities showcasing these high-quality renderings of horrifically bad vehicle design mashups.  Each one claims to be "the new 2025" [insert famous nameplate here].

AC Cobra reimagined as some sort of bad NuBronco thing?  Yeah, no, even Ford's marketing department isn't that stupid.

We should just let AI take over all car design from here on out.  I want the Silveraxpress ESV.

Its all AI-generated images. At least you get cool vehicles, I keep getting clickbait articles showing little kids in orange jumpsuits on death row. WTF?

Funny you should mention AI-generated automotive designs: In the January 2024 issue of Classic Motorsports, Peter Brock discusses that very topic.

I can't remember who wrote it, might have been Hemmings.  They did a bunch of what it's with AI like 1986 Packard etc.  It was really neat and I started fooling messing around with the same thing and you can get some really neat results.   I'll have to see if I saved any of them. Super fun punching in like 1965 Kia Soul and 2003 MG midget.

I think the Gambler 500 social media accounts were going through a phase where they CABOVERED ALL THE THINGS, and were creating Photoshopped images of all sorts of trucks like that. Pretty sure this is one of them. Beyond bizarre (and funny) that a clickbait site snagged it up for use.

Canoo has built a factory in the Oklahoma City area to make those.  Canoo Delivering First Made in Oklahoma Electric Vehicles to State Government.

Maybe I'll find new homes for some of my driveway princesses and pre-order one.

That looks a lot like a slightly modified gem electric vehicle. 
 

They started off as a golf car and now, are an abomination.
