I don't know what to think. The rear is nicer than the new 7, but the front looks too Pontiac-like. Still think they could do better!
Hmm. Kinda looks like the unholy union of a Camry and an RSX. It's also a bit unbalanced-looking; too much trunk and not enough nose. I'm not crazy about it, but then again, I can't really afford one so what the hell does my opinion matter? :p

For some reason that front end (everything front of the B pillars) screams Taurus SES...

Not sure why, but that was my first impression.

Actually, that looks too substantial to be a 5. Would have made for a better 7 maybe.

Those two are very nice, the new one is a step down from those.

When did they start chroming the window trim again? That's so 1970s. :disgust:

The front end needs more mass. Looks as if somebody just grabbed the front and pulled back on it. Not bad, but not good either.

It's those damn gay headlamps in the front... ruins the car. It looks like the ripped off the body design of the G35 and shoved in Silvia headlamps with the BMW grille.

I say again. BMW = Ugly.

Generally. Their roadsters are hotter than hell, but their sedans are hideous.
