Which one of you studs is willing to prowl around in this bad boy? Ladies and gents, the new M4

Looks like a cartoon mouth coming to gobble up the cars in front of it lol..

It'll probably grow on me though...

 

[Beefer]

Absolutely hideous. Makes Bangle look like a rock star.

Ironically I love the lines of the car. But then there's that elephant in the room...

It makes me think "angry kitchen appliance"...

What is it with car designers these days? Is everyone trying to outdo everyone else by making the most ugly front end?
I think the grille should accent the car, not dominate it,

My understanding is that in China (obviously a major market) where the automobile is even more of a fashion accessory than here, the trend is large corporate grilles which help passers-by more easily identify that you're driving a car from a luxury brand.

Of course that explains this, but it doesn't excuse it... that front end is ridiculous, revolting, goofy, stupid... I struggle to find the adjectives. BMW's been bleeding its mojo for years now, but this is a new low.

Other than that.. and that's a huge "that." it reminds me of my Infiniti G37 coupe

Anyone currently own or have owned a Lexus RC-F? I'm looking for a used one, wanted to get some feedback on your experience.

I blame Audi, they started it with their gaping maw of a grille like fifteen years ago. Too bad other brands decided to copy it.

To me it looks like a mustang and an Alfa got together and had a baby

What would we call that... A Musfla? An Altang?

Yup. That's it.

So with the refreshed G70 looking like a Buick homage (pics posted by Petraman in the other thread), I see this opening up a huge opportunity for the TLX Type S for this segment which looks good and actually has usable rear seats, although I'm sure it won't handle as well as the G70 due to the long wheelbase and FWD-based powertrain. Total shame on Genesis to kill the momentum with the excellent current G70.

The TLX Type S looks pretty dang good. Especially that rear end! Excited to see how much HP that engine makes. A single turbo on a V6 will be pretty cool and make room for some (hopefully) good upgrades.




Also, think of Acura's SH-AWD system as a more refined version of the Focus RS's AWD system.

Still, some remains to be seen. Other than power output, will Honda's 10 speed tranny be responsive enough? What about stability control and the ability to disable said system? Weight distribution?

Even so, what has been shared by Acura and other car media outlets so far shows some impressive promises. Definitely waiting for more details on this car!

Hmmm... Thanks for the info.

Dunno about you guys, but I'm let down by those HP numbers. Oh well.

 

[Beefer]

Nothing about that car is appealing to me. Spruced up ricer car. Ick.
