i hope that section of red between the tailights doesnt make it into production, other than that it looks beautiful. those lambo wheels dont look half bad, but we need the ones from the concept

The red strip might be part of the disguise. Looks like it in the 2nd photo, anywho.

They could definitely improve that, yeah....maybe taper it like on the new A4, so it blends more, and matches the front.

The front of the car looks like someone squished it down; it doesn't match the rest of the car

I think the front looks great, as well as the way the curves flow down the sides, like the Z4, but they have to fix the side intake to match; angles + flowing lines = images/smilies/bmwpoo.gif

I think it's funny how they tried to disguise it with the red tape on the back. images/smilies/lol.gif Let's face it, that's the most recognizable prototype since...a handful of Alfas:
