Still heavily disguised sheetmetal... overall shape looks good -- sorta like a rounded off 7/8 scale E36 cab...

I'm scared as to what sort of freakish creases will be on the body...

Looks a lot like an Audi with the cladding on it. I suspect the spousal unit will show an interest in that if it ever gets here.

I realize it's just cladding but I actually like the looks of the car in the top pic. Nice overall proportions and massing. Maybe they should leave the cladding on there? :dunno:

Exactly what I was thinking.

It does look well proportioned/massed and there is a notable lack of fussiness. Pretty sad when a guised test mule looks more coherent than the finished piece...
