    The 'Rubenesque' 308 is a delight in the afternoon or any other time, great choice!

    The problem with black wheels is that they look like voids in the arches. You can't actually see the design of the wheels.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I'm sure you say that to everyone who points out the painfully obvious. :D

    The rear of the car makes me think of a 911 or perhaps a more streamlined Panamera Sport Turismo. The indents on the doors make me think of a Second Generation Cayenne. The grill makes me think of a Genesis G70, only more manic, and seems really out of place with everything else about the car - I don't get the grill at all.

    Given that so much of it seems to be in a Porsche nomenclature (at least to me), I wonder if it was originally intended as a Porsche concept but ultimately it was considered too evolutionary from a Panamera perspective and they changed the nose at the last minute before announcing it as an Audi concept.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Interesting hypothesis. I'll do some enquiries.
    For me, there isn't anything Audi I can point to.

    So it fails miserably on the jm2 criteria scale.
    1. Does it look like the brand?
    2. Is it new and fresh?

    Not very inconspicuous having illuminated 007 puddles by the doors. o_O

    I can't imagine Mr. Bond keeping his playboy cover with features like that.

    All the best,
