RDX vs Cybertruck

Now given that both cars cost nearly the same at least in base versions, what is your opinion comparing these two cars. I know it’s all speculations at present but would welcome all opinions.
Would you trade your 2G RDX for the Cybertruck?

Or not enough. That thing is butt ugly. But presales are doing OK, so perhaps my taste is just dated. Or perhaps the collective taste is just bad now. We have lots of other examples...

It turns out that the design was driven by the cold rolled stainless steel exterior (the part that didn't break in the launch) The material is very hard to manipulate.
Even creating the creases means you have to cut deep grooves behind the bend. Curves are out of the question. I wonder how this is ever going to pass muster in crash testing.
It will be like a battering ram in accidents.

IF such a truck ever comes to production, nobody will cross-shop it with an RDX. But it has succeeded in creating buzz. We're talking about it on a 2nd Gen RDX forum, for goodness' sake.
