Sedan looks pretty cool. Elaborate on how the cars look ungainly,dull and ugly please.

Model S looks good to me, but others look kind of funny or not in correct proportions and the front lights of those are also weird.

Look like bog-standard saloon cars. What's your issue?

Good aesthetic design conflicts with other design goals (aerodynamics, range, safety). It looks to me like they designed it for optimal functionality rather than aesthetics.

Eh, they look like every other car.

Beautiful car. I wish modern cars looked like this again :)

Whether something looks "good" is subjective. But you can't deny that the REX looks different from typical cars.

It's surprising that they didn't go for a more aerodynamically looking shape.

A bit uglier and with an less consensual design than Tesla IMO
