    I was too until I saw it in person - it’s not bad ..
    They say it’s $460k drive away.

    I was referring to how often I had just seen it.... :p

    But, I actually don't mind it. Especially the interior.
    Needs shields, of course.

    This guy liked it too but I have to agree with Pat, the grille needs fixing

    Yeah. Agreed. The grille is not great.

    A lot of cars these days seem to not quite get the styling right. Either the front or the back is not really in keeping with the rest of the car:
    720S. F8. SF90. All the new BMWs with the ludicrous front grille.

    Makes me wonder when was the last time a car was more or less perfect, from a styling point of view.

    Ferrari wise, I'm thinking 458?

    Styling is subjective however. There's no right or wrong. Current cars seem to possess a somewhat vulgar and excessive road presence to me at least. Your mention of the BMW grille is a good case in point. And each successive supercar has to appear more aggressive and larger than the previous.

    Modern safety and aerodynamic requirements dictate a certain homogenised look amongst the current offerings but I think that's often used as an excuse for designers to be lazy.

    From a styling point of view, I like the Roma. The promotional images suggest it's quite a large car, and I think works better in a darker colour, a blue or grey perhaps IMO.

    I really love the profile and the rear, but can't get past the headlights.
    Probably very colour sensitive.

    On a more mundane note, I was pleased to hear BMW are finally going to do an M3 wagon, but unfortunately it's likely to be saddled with that ridiculous grille.

    I think it's ugly. Looks like a wasp that's had a reach-a-round from a Unimog.

    Interesting, rosso corsa is my most despised colour on anything.

    Deep red, this one? Been in the program for many years.

    My 308 is this colour oddly.

    You're allowed to think that. Having bad taste in style is your only weakness.

    Oh yeah, that's a lovely colour IMO. Saw an F12 at the NSW show a few years back, looked amazing.

    Is it just an illusion or are the door (top) sills about 75mm wide? o_O
