If I wanted a boat, I'd buy a boat. I don't think that is sea-worthy.

 

if it werent for that grill...

i think its neat for like a show/special car, but not really for an actual road car

 

The Grill Looks Terrible

 

if they would have stopped the grill above the bumper it would look tight as hell. I dont really think it looks all THAT bad either way though. And I would love to drive that green car for a day, just to see how people react to it.

 

The oversized, inverted-pyramid grill makes me think of Audi. Especially the way it breaks the bumper line and continues down to the bottom of the fascia. The grill's rake and chevron-shaped cross pieces do kind of remind me of a train's cow catcher, but I think what they were going for was an art deco reference. The Germans seem to be really going after this idea of giving deco a new kind of "techno edge."

Here's the best example i can find without really trying:

 

love it besides the front end
