I will say that it looks significantly better than the Z4. But to say that anything with that nose actually looks good is a HUGE stretch.

Is the overall package good enough that one could overlook the nose? Maybe.

But you can't just dismiss a schnoz like that.

I don't get it. The front end of that car is positively hideous.

Why anyone would pick this car over a Cayman or Corvette makes no sense at all to me.

Even the front end. I like the (new?) fascia.

Seriously, the Cayman has near zero visual appeal to me. It's just not pretty.

It looked better in black, with the key features covered up.

Wow.

We occupy different worlds.

This car, while not quite "near zero", has very limited visual appeal to me. And I think the Cayman is hot.
