Looks like a Calibra owner who wants, but can't afford, an R8.

I don't like the apparently superfluous black panels behind the doors, but otherwise I quite like it.  It looks a little bit like the Pug 406 coupe, but otherwise looks OK.  It's like an updated take on the Calibra body-shape, using some current styling references, like the overhanging body crease, the lights, the louvres in the corners of the bumpers and the raised centre section of the bumper and perhaps a diffuser at the rear.

I think that some people's reaction to this car is because it messes with a well-loved shape, rather than objective views on the looks of the car...  If it wasn't messing with a Calibra, would you really think this was an ugly coupe?

Don't like that at all. The front looks horrid with that snow plough look.

The two sort of swoops with the cut out bit in the middle, maybe 'snowplough' was the wrong analogy but it's still pure fail

Well apart from the black panels at the back of the door which seem to look like they should not be there or maybe they should not be as flush or as big as they are,  but i dont think its that bad a looking car, someone has obviously spent a great deal of time and money on it. in fact if you compare it to a lot of todays mass produced cars it looks quite nice. :)
