Yes, the pickup truck that is shaped like a low-effort Pinewood Derby car will definitely be safer for pedestrians, that totally scans. /s

There at least two owned near me. I know because at least one is warped in a carbon black color.

I never hated the look of them. I always like it when people try bold different looks for any product. But I saw one in a parking lot, and was able to put hands on it in person. That's when it's size and sharp angles immediately made me think "This seems almost intended to be a pedestrian murder machine." Even bumping into it as you walk around a stationary one, just seems unnecessarily dangerous.
