Model 3 Looks Like a Frog From the Front, and a Mini X from the Back

I think they look pretty good from the front. An older Leaf is the frog (or bug.)

After seeing Model 3 parked and whilst driving a dozen or so times, I've gotten a decent feel for the looks. And indeed it is hard to capture the great looks because it varies by angle (unlike the S).

Straight on from the front it looks like a Frog. Not bad, but a little odd.

It definitely looks like a mini X from the back. Especially lower height, but shape is similar.

From the sides, it looks better.

The Model 3 is a lot quicker than a frog in its 0 - 60 times.

Finally , you nailed it. Straight on looks like a toad. Ugly.... lol.

I own one so I’m allowed to say it. Haha

Frog-eyes hasn't hurt Porsche over the years, but it is why I prefer the S to the 3. Not a huge Porsche fan, except the 944.

Frog/Toad no more - Tesla Model 3 gets handling and aero upgrades from RevoZport

I like it. I think it looks better than the competition, and better than BMWs and Audis. Taste is a personal thing.

Saying that. frogs have spherical eyes. The model 3 reminds me more of the seahawks logo.

It's funny. The photo being used for the first half of this thread was from an angle that no one would ever actually see unless they were lying on the ground. Yeah, it may not be quite as attractive from that impossible angle, but I think it looks great from most normal angles.

I haven't seen it in person, but in pictures the front always says Porsche to me.

The front is very Panamera.

I think it looks like a Porsche and a Prius had a fish baby.

The front of the Model 3 looks like the Thunderquack.
