The first sentence is unclear because I don't know what an MPV is. That abbreviation should be spelled out at first use. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC) Reply

Obviously this section shouldn't be removed entirely, as the negative reaction amongst the media and general public to its styling is clearly noteworthy, but as it currently stands the section reads far more like some sort of comedy roast than a neutral, straightforward encyclopaedic article. Comments that are actually descriptive in some way, like the ones describing it as having a "barn-door rear end", "shopping-trolley wheels", or "grotesquely oversized front features" have a reasonable amount of encyclopaedic value (as they draw attention to the reasons why the styling was negatively received), but stating that it's been described as "strange", "weird", "unusual", and "peculiar" just becomes redundant after a point, and comments like the one about it being "put together by three blind mice" are just vague insults which do little to add to an already overlaboured point. There's clearly a consensus amongst sources that it was aesthetically unappealing, so we don't need to rattle off a long list of comments from different sources to demonstrate a diversity of viewpoints.
