I like it

looks more like a new M6 to me

whatever it is, it will still be too expensive for me to buy...

I know they won't be, but I hope those tails are not final. I am loving the general shape though. My only other wish is that the doors be transparent like the prototype. Then i would drive one without pants..

Wow. Love the overall shape. Pointy nose reminds me of an M1 or an old 8 series.

I'm not a fan of the angular bumper and weird spoiler. Good thing they probably won't be in the production version.

EDIT: LD330XI beat me to it.

Same not a fan of the taillights... But dammit i drive without pants now, I can't do that with transparent doors.

i'm sure the tails will be fit above those round lights under each spoiler... you can tell by the body lines

if you look at most previous concept/prototypes, the tail lights are completely different, round, bulgy, etc... not to mention, the tail lights for this car probably aren't even made yet. those are put on for safety regulations only, if i had to guess

cowmoo32 · 12-29-2011, 12:47 PM

For reference

mission impossible

It reminds me of an old Toyota MR2 from the side and a Porsche from the rear.

It looks good though.

I wonder how many cup holders it will have.

2000_328CI · 12-29-2011, 01:12 PM

I like it

KtecR · 12-29-2011, 04:54 PM

I like the rear fins, hope this car makes it to production without too many tone-downs.

john311tran · 12-30-2011, 08:18 PM

reminds me of a pontiac firebird or z28's...
