Are you kidding, the Homer had a domed windshield, two of them! ... full 360 degree unobstructed view of the world .. what does the cybertruck have? Angles! .... The Homer was way ahead of its time
THE HOMER HAD A LA CUCARACHA HORN. BIG AUTO KILLED IT.
The first thing my grandpa did when we he bought a new car was install one of these lol
Also a siren. I don’t know why he wanted a siren so bad.
The Homer itself is full of practical decisions (see things well, keep the noisy kids away), my analogy is Homer knew nothing about car design, designed something nobody wanted, and the company invested so much into the idea it basically ruined them.
