and the 2025 a+ award winner is.....
| This company just can't stay off our list, as they have won this award before and have made it on the top list as well. With a shorter past than companies like Lamborghini and Ferrari, they have managed to win over more design awards for their limited amount of products and 2025 is not going to change that. |
and the 2025 rusty award goes to.....
| Simple may be the answer to getting a product to market quicker, but when you entire lineup is made up of this formula, it may be time to rethink your strategy. This years winner is not only a winner when it comes to bad designs, but an overall company who can't make good design decisions. But when it comes to changing the way they play the game, will they be able to do it? |

About
AutoLooks "RATED" is where we rate and review vehicles from around the world from every segment of the automotive industry. Our 1,215 point system is based on Four (4) key areas of automotive design.
AutoLooks rates the Front End, Rear End, Side and Overall Appeal of each and every new vehicle from around the world.
If they rate above 75%, they receive our A+ AWARD for design excellence.
If our rating system turns up a score below 45%, then that model will receive our RUSTY AWARD of design failure.
And don't think of borrowing to many design features from another company, or you will wind up taking home our COPYCAT AWARD. This award outlines which model they are borrowing from and how close they are to the original
At the end of each year, AutoLooks puts together all of the their information into one easy to read article which outlines the best, worst, lost and new products from each year.
So join us on our journey of automotive criticism and take a look on our RATED pages to see how well each company, segment and model fair against their rivals.
