No concept car will ever create a mass acceptance of, or desire for, radical styling. A car is a very public display of your personal tastes and there is a limit to how visible and conspicuous people wish to be - at least the ones responsible for the bulk of car market purchases. Everyone wants to fit in whilst making small individual statements.
Context is everything. A car that draws the admiring crowds at a motor show can cause a very different reaction when sitting on your drive. Certain cars are associated with certain groups - boy racers, soccer moms etc etc
It's that "fitting in" part which means that Bluestar (and Whitestar) will be stylish-but-normal and cars like the Aptera will continue to be a niche influence.
