Is the Bolero MaXX Pik-Up cool because of its retro styling, or is it just old fashioned?

The Mahindra Bolero MaXX Pik-Up has an old school, utilitarian design. It stands out for this aesthetic choice in a market where many manufacturers are going for more modern, more streamlined designs. The appearance of the Bolero MaXX Pik-Up raises questions about whether or not retro styling is appealing on today's vehicles as it is boxy and no nonsense. However, they say some view its old school look to be charming and distinctive, as a callback to a simpler era of automotive design. It could be seen as outdated, and other people could take that to be something which will affect the sale of the vehicle and even the resale. Beyond discussing the appeal of the Renault 5, this debate struck more broadly on nostalgia in design, aesthetic cycles, and that tenuous relationship between form and function in utility vehicles. It also calls into question Mahindra's brand identity and the extent to which the company's decision to continue using a classic design assists or hampers its image in a fast changing automotive landscape.
