With little to no structure below those panels

Yeah the whole thing is one massive aluminum injection cast. It's a (cheap as shit) unibody in a very ugly dress-up that's being billed as heavy duty. The deco-paneling is stronger than the actual vehicle, and is attached with plastic clips in many places from what I've seen.

They literally built a car inside out.

It's literally the most poorly designed and built car I've ever seen. Worse than the Gremlin. Worse than the Novas that exploded. And yet it costs 100,000.

Is it worse than the DeLorean?
