    3200 pounds... That figure I bet won't make it to production. Maybe 3200 pounds empty weight not including the batteries:p

    Sexier than anything currently for sale. Sort of a better Roma imo.

    The Kia tried too hard with the horizontal surfaces. I don't see them being integrated.

    The Infinity was nice and cohesive until they did that hideous nose. Did they run out of time and bring some 10 year olds to make that solution. Nissan needs to be embarrassed for themselves. Whomever approved this as the best solution needs to have their studio pass revoked.

    So the factory press release says it's an EV with a small ICE 2 rotor motor used to recharge the smaller lithium batteries, and that explains the lighter weight than most EV's. Almost like a vegan eating meat :cool:

    v. nice! Front 3/4 would have been a better Alfa 33 than the 'offical' version - Rear may be a bit too bland; perhaps it just needs a nice 'grigio argento' to bring up the shape a bit!

    Infinity "vision" (can someone please send all the automakers with 'vision' a thesaurus) kind of lost the plot on that snow plow front! Maybe this is a special Northern States version. That is just brutally bad! No door cut lines so hard to tell if this is 2 dr, 4 dr, or no dr sedan.

    I think the only thing missing are the interesting vents and small details the Italians add or used to add. That is the only problem with the Mazda designs, even with the last gen RX7 wich had a nice shape but blah details. This car has almost no detail but a very nice shape. Maybe Stelantis can hire a few of the Mazda designers and fire the guy who did the T33 retro headlights :)

    To me, of the cars shown from the Japan Mobility show, the Subaru is the easiest to classify as a train wreck :confused:

    I agree with John, numerous train wrecks. Where is the leadership of Design? Have they all been AWOL?
