Dunno what you're smoking. The car looks good. Maybe not as good as the new 6 series, but I ceratinly wouldn't call it UGLY.

Jay Leno is much funnier when he's blue. :D

It's damn ugly. But I can't see how anyone would think that it's uglier than the Z4. At least it looks like the same car throughout.

I vote hideous. I HATE the F1 nose-in-the-air look.

That car is a disgrace. After all that time and money.

It is just hideus. Disproportionate, akward, strange, and just flat out stupid-looking. It looks like something out of a bad batman movie.


...Actually... I know what it remiands me of.. the car from the ambigiously gay duo.

I know one of you will find the picture faster than I will. :D

Anyway... an SL55 AMG is far better looking.

And, factor in the price of the monstrosity. A cheap car, if ugly, can still be forgiven. It's unforgivable in a price-no-object flagship.

You know people will buy it for the name tag and exclusivity alone.

My uncle wanted one really bad.

Hey, it's okay! You're allowed to like it.

But you'd be wrong :smile:

I like it. I like it sort of as an interesting example of what people with more money than they can spend will spend their money on. I like it in Jay Leno's driveway. Well, air conditioned garage probably, but you get the idea.

I wouldn't like it in my driveway. Come to think of it, I don't think I would like it in my neighbor's driveway, either.

But it's "interesting" looks are probably what they are trying for. It definately sets the car apart and it's unlikely that anyone who knows what it is will mistake it for anything else.
