Another benefit of being anti-peacock is that the thing will be easier to sell in the future. Lots of crafty folded sheet metal looks dated compared to more conservative designs.
a 10 year old prius, which originally sold for $21K, is worth a little over $5K today. a 10 year old Tacoma, which originally sold for $22K, is worth just under $13K today. Conservative design was the better buy.
