Saw my first one in the wild today. It really is as awful as they say. Got a closer look to see that many of the panels looked like they weren't fitted properly. Also, it had a crack all the way down the windshield, no obvious indication of something hitting it.
I made a joke that it looked like a 5th grader with a Tester's model kit put it together.

It was designed back in the '80s.

One of the people out there commented it looked like something out of science fiction. I said the '70s did it better and showed her this.
