If I remember correctly that design had a fatal masculine flaw: “Women don’t care about mechanics so we’ll make the engine bay unopenable or hide the engine under an extra trunk”
They were right that most drivers don’t care about that and think of cars as tools, not hobbies. But framing it as a women’s thing was rough.
I think many modern cars are actually quite close to that prototype in spirit. Especially the electric versions.
