New Post Office Trucks Spark Debate on Social Media

Although the U.S. Postal Service only released unfinished designs, the pictures still caused a debate on Twitter. When Politico's Sam Mintz launched a poll on the design, almost 60% of the 217,000 respondents called it an "ugly duckling." Just 40% consider it "sleek and cool." Others suggested it looked very similar to a car Homer Simpson designed in an episode of The Simpsons.
One person suggested the truck looked like the house on four wheels that appeared in a Top Gear episode. Another person got "Pixar vibes" after seeing the design. It does look very similar to the cars in Cars.
One voice actor joked that the truck spells out "mail (if you write MAIL on it)." Another person suggested it looked like characters from Duckman.
"The new USPS vehicle design looks like my attempt to draw a truck in first grade," one person wrote. "Why did my mind go right to Dr. Finkelstein when I saw the new USPS trucks?" another person wrote. This was a reference to the character in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
"Bro those new USPS delivery trucks look like the flying car from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Who the f— thought this was a good idea?" one blunt Twitter user wondered. "The new USPS truck look like a beluga whale," another person wrote.
Many, many Twitter users compared the designs to cars from children's author Richard Scarry's books, specifically the apple car driven by a worm character. "Richard Scarry's out here designing USPS trucks," one person wrote.
