    Not bad, but the upper still bothers me.

    2018 Geneva for the most part seems to be a slow motion train wreck with lots of twisted parts happily on display. :eek:

    Looks dated. In fact I'm thinking it looks like a design Gandini did in the 80s, can't put me finger on it.

    Also the disjointed chrome at the front is jarring and don't like the front and rear shoulder lines both running into the door but not joining our far enough apart.

    GTO on the spoiler?
    Everything about that car looks very 'industrial' and not really visually pleasing. It is like they went out of their way to offend at every turn.

    Supposed to be GTR, but you never know, they poached an ex-Ferrari guy for their composite structure, ex-Ferrari design chief (now gone) so maybe no qualms about using GTO since Ferrari passed up on it for the Pista ;-)

    Yes, thank you I missed the more clear image of GTR on the fin in front of the rear tire. One doesn't know where to look with that design chaos...

    It looks like a Koenigsegg to me.

    All the best,

    It's such a cool car IMO. Just needs gearbox updating that's really it to me.

    Not loving this design. There are elements I like, but the proportions feel off to me, especially the length of the back end past the C pillar and how it drops off to the kamm tail. Looks a bit awkward and clumsy, especially from the side. Maybe it's just that roll hoop you mentioned messing things up, but it's icky.

    Interesting.

    I actually like it. I don't like the matt black roof pillar, but the tail is refreshing in a world of cat-in-heat designs. I also love how smooth it is, but with lines that make sense.

    Different flavors of ice cream and all that.

    As I stated earlier I like the lower portion, but the roof is problematic for me. And I like the side view proportions with the lengthened deckled. :eek:
    Just goes to show ya, ya can't please everyone!
