As awesome of an overall package the Silverado EV is, I just can't get on board with the aesthetics. It just does nothing for me. I love what it is and the performance it achieves, both in sportiness and efficiency, but it looks so... sucky... It's all in the front end for me. 

The Sierra looks quite a bit better though, to me, so there is that.

The aesthetics are very color dependent for me. I like it in the blue and the black, not so much the red or the white.  The painted "grille" on the WT doesn't look right either.  The Sierra does look good, but I like the sail panels like my Avalanche. I know they are polarizing for most, but I like them and the Sierra doesn't have it.  If I get the EValanche, I'll get it in blue or black.

I was looking at color options for the Sierra EV yesterday and I came across their dark red/maroon color and it looks freakin awesome.
