Interesting but I still don't understand why people expect production designs to be anything close to a concept. I've never personally seen a concept for any car that looks anything remotely similar to the production vehicle. I would have to say the opposite here, the styling turned out really well and it turns heads.
Not sure what the reviewers are really talking about when they say its styling is dull. Maybe because they're comparing it to the designs of the high end scale which I have heard before as well... "If it looked more like an Aston Martin I'd be sold on it." It's an economy sports car lets not forget that. Blows away the Miata's, Genesis, Camaro even the Mustangs IMO because it's original and the lines flow.
Just my 2cents, as you said it's subjective i suppose.

I HATE the fact the neutered the styling.

To see the final version so neutered was hard to stomach for me. Actually if I stare at those pictures and then look at the production model it's almost painful.
The people who have never see the car before usually like it because it's edgy TODAY. And that's my problem with the styling, it was scaled back due to cost, but it was at the expense of the long term, appeal. I know it's all subjective.
It's these things the car nuts complain about. |
