The rear is ugly but I could get used to it. The sides are overwrought but not ugly. The front is...holy hell, I don't actually think I've seen a car that ugly in a long time.

I saw a Giulia QV yesterday and it blew me away how much sexier that car is.

There’s a company in the U.K. I think that’s already making a normal looking front bumper. My guess is that bmw walks this back no later than the mid cycle refresh. Then again, we all thought the bangle era would be shorter lived than it actually was.

The Giulia is sexier even in its base spec!

I doubt it. How many actual buyers is it impacting?

I guess the design is so bad that nobody wants to comment on that horrible green color?

I don't think I'd say I love it, but there's certainly nothing wrong with it. I think I'd appreciate it to a high degree in full sunlight.

Of course, I bought an orange car.

Yeah. Green isn't my first choice, but that's just about the best green I've ever seen.

Speaking of which, I love that you can get green + orange.

Whatever the outside color, I'm not sure I could handle that color on the inside. But, I'm glad someone can.
