It looks a little dorky, but in a futuristic way. I like it.

Reminds me of a Toyota Previa

That is to say, that is one ugly vehicle. The vans the Royal Mail have are so much better looking I want one. Royal van

The Royal Mail vehicle seems much more practical for delivery drivers due to the forward position of the seat. The Canoo seat is way back in the cabin

Agree to disagree. I like the USPS Canoo, and that micro bus just looks silly to my eyes.

You’re not alone. I think it’s gorgeous and I’d have a Canoo if they were in Europe.

The micro bus is closer to Amazon's Rivians. USPS's Canoos are more like the minivans they sometimes drive now.

For some reason it makes me think of a vehicle that would be on the moon. Pretty cool, kinda ugly, but i like it

I believe this has easily swappable battery packs. That feature alone makes so much sense it could give them an edge.

Looks better than the Oshkosh prototype rendering for USPS.

The Pixar one probably has better visibility for the driver, though

Must be nightmare in the summer - greenhouse effect.
