ELI5:Why do cheap cars have to be ugly?

Is there a marketing reason or just a code which car designers follow? Somebody please explain!
gpt
cheap cars tend to be shaped more "boxy."  the presses that stamp out car body parts more easily stamp simple shapes(less bends and angles.)  A curvy, sleek design requires a more complicated die(the part of the press that actually makes the shape), which costs more upfront.  Metal also doesn't like hard angles when being stamped. It may deform or crack altogether.  This increases reject parts, making the cost of a quality part more expensive to compensate.

TLDR:  Simple shapes are cheaper to make.
