Geezus Christ. WTF is the deal with everyone feeling the need to make a "pissed off headlight" front end. Is Chrysler doing BMW's design now?
Utterly horrid. Where's that demotivator about "lambo doors are so played out lambos don't even have them anymore"?

Auto designers... frightening animals and small children since the early '90's.

It's not frightening, it's just g-damn ugly.
The technology behind it seems interesting and cutting-edge, but the aesthetics are enough to make me lose interest (after losing my lunch).

The front looks like Jack Nicholson playing Free Willy.

Whoever did the design work for the 2002 and 3.0CS needs to be consulted or rehired immediately.

With crash ratings the way they are, no car will ever get doors like that (thin glass/polycarbonite)
I hate seeing all these cool, futuristic designs which are clearly done by art students with no foresight of what is required as far as functionality/safety. Why tease us, or better yet why waste your time knowing that isn't going to work.

This is what we get from car designers that won the pumpkin carving contests at Halloween as kids

The BMW is cool, but a bit too much flash. Like it's trying way too hard to impress.
This is better, be it not as fast or as impressive at first. http://www.autoblog.com/tag/murat+gunak/

You know what's sad about modern auto design? Most of it seems unremarkable and unoriginal. The other day I saw a nice three-door Hyundai Genesis coupe. Upon the car pulling away, I thought, I didn't know the car howled like that.
Well, it wasn't a Hyundai Genesis. It was a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.
