I have to say I like it!Very sleek and very aggressive, well see how it compares to the upcoming Panamera and Passat coupe but I would take this over the Quattroporte anyday!

It's got a little Dodge Charger going on around the rear wheel/C pillar area and the headlights NEED to be parallel with the kidney grilles, but not too bad. As others have pointed out, it's actually a COHESIVE design, which is a big step forward, IMHO.

Exactly what I thought after seeing the side profile (w/ a Charger mixed in). The HUGE grille in the front is a turn-off, but the rest of the car looks pretty sharp.

Bingo. That's exactly what I thought. Especially when viewed from the side.

Nice overall design, but that front is really foul.

Pretty soon every other manufacturer will be copying it.I'm not a big Bangle fan, but the guy does seem to be setting the styling trends for the market in general.

I'm past disgust. This is just funny It does look like quite the rip off of Aston Martin's 4 door concept. Vanish I think? (I wish it would...)

Except it's already a copy, plus it was done better the first time.

say what you will, but that bangle knows how to take a design language and make it recognizable while taking it to new and different directionseveryone flamed him for his flamed surfacing; yet nearly all companies are copying in one way or another
i think hes brilliant

that thing looks set to snort bangle's ashes. The above is an excerpt from the best selling book Band of Boozers , a heroic tale of ordinary alcoholics thrown together in an extraordinary time. Experience this harrowing Wino War II tale as only those that drank it can slurr.

that interior is amazing. takes the current style inside and out to new levels while it is hard to judge trend setting, the details are harder to see in pictures (not that I have seen it in person). But personally, Bangle is a forward thinker/designer. not everyone is gonna be on the same track as him subjectively. The grille needs reworking but other than that, it is amazing IMO
