what do you think of this car?
Spotted this Beemer a couple of times and it looks nasty, in a good way, the ultimate urban assault weapon. Apparently it's a bit polarising, what do you think? Personally I'd have one.
Cheers

A non car persons car .It doesn't cut it at all.Like an 18 year old's first attempt at doing it themselves.

"ultimate urban asault weapon" ??? look at those rubber band tyres, they're only suitable for really SMOOTH bitumen or a race track
now if it looked more like this ...
I might have a different opinionregards from Alberta, Canada

Don't know how much and not buying either, we're still happy with our diesel Prado. Originally Posted by AUSSIE

I'd prefer this ,but at $173,000.00US I wont be getting one.
and also I got no hair for the wind to blow around while driving it.

Don't you think there's something not quite right about the windscreen? Can't put my finger on it. Originally Posted by Woodlee

It's like a pug dog, so ugly it's cute, or in this case, so ugly that it's kinda alright... If that makes sense. Don't like the dicky spotties on the front, the audi 5 lights strip thing looks pretty cool, although maybe they're a little too low.
From side on it looks tough, from the rear it looks awkward, and from the front it looks too much like their 4-wheeler (X5 is it?), maybe need to rethink those big nostrils...

Why does it have nostrils on the back too? 
The skirts are just bolted on. Little line of lights are from a $2 shop. Would have been better if the body was moulded in one smooooooooooth shape. I like my cars to look normal, then burn the bastards off at the lights anyway.

Looks like a yanky "tuner" has got a hold of a euro car and spoiled it. Originally Posted by mic-d

Things like the strings of mini lights make me think 100% euro.

i love the lumma. it has a real gts flute look that turns heads. the eyelids are a small touch that transforms the family image to a real road warrior look. i would love to see the full flight photo's of it with the landing gear retracted and sitting on the deck.
as for the chev. that is sex on wheels, the 57 bel air and 58 impala is one of the most intimidating beasts ever unleashed to put fear into the eyes of the pursued. but in this case it gives a sexy gangster look.
love both cars for very different reasons
the side plate on the chev is 789... well i take my hat off when i see this badge...anyone who has sent anything down the quatermile knows to the do your run before it hits the launch pad. or no one will know you ever existed.
thanks woodlee
and thanks mic-d
its great to see people here have a great appreciation of designers hard work
