GenX had the Delorean. :)
Yes we did... and I wonder if we'd think they were ugly if not for Back to the Future.
I have heard nothing but bad things from people who actually own one.
Back to the Future is the only reason anyone thought Deloreans were cool!
So the question then becomes, could a movie make the Cybertruck cool?
Or maybe a video game? What if they put the Cybertruck in Cyberpunk and made it one of the main characters' personal vehicles, this person would always have it and you'd associate it with them. Or maybe GTA VI.
Like the Delorean, something in pop culture could make it cool, but only after everyone's forgotten what an impractical disaster it was. :)
I thought we had the Pontiac Aztek ? Ugly car but apparently super functional
Seeing the internet bag on them was a lesson. I'd go for this one.
Deloreans looked good, though.
I’d say the PT Cruiser is the shame of Gen X.
I'd say the pt cruiser was millenial, on the basis that my younger sister had one
Gen X here. Bought one for my ex-wife. It worked well enough. 🤷🏻♂️
