Not trying to hate or flame but I thought it was pretty ugly. It is way more boxy than I realized.

It definitely looks better in pictures than in person. Sort of looks like a sedan with jumbo vertical proportions, it’s kind of odd.
Haven’t seen a polestar in person yet, but interestingly enough I find the mme is the opposite. I think it looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures.

Yes, Polestar 2 is a pretty typical looking thing. Boring in fact. None of the sexy DNA from Polestar 1.

I didn't think it looked bad, saw one with Washington State plates at a DC fast charger in NY.
Yowza. Where they manufacturer plates? That's a long trip considering you have to head south first in order to head east due to the charging desert in the upper midwest

I was following one and noted how awkward-ugly the rear was before realizing that it was a Polestar.

I actually test-drove one with all the goodies (Pilot, Plus, Performance packages). It actually felt like a good, well-handling car with good acceleration and build quality. It also seems to constantly deliver the promised performance unlike some others...

But, it was also a very small car inside. The trunk and frunk mini-size, small backseat and tight legroom. The center console was huge, and honestly did not find a good driving position due to it.

So for someone who does not need a lot of space it was quite nice. But compared to MME it was felt small.

Drove one and have seen probably 3-4 in the Austin/Round Rock area. They look good in person. The Thor’s Hammer led lights in the headlights are particularly cool IMO.

Plus, it traps 108mph in the 1/4 mile. ???
