Someone needs to call Dr. Z.

He must have missed a meeting on this.

At least with the current BMW stylist we know what to expect and I will keep my non-edgy 2004 thank you very much.

Thats almost as ugly as that new caddy coupe, looks like they stole the ugly front end off a Dadge Magn and then tried to hide it with all them sharp edges, gawd its an ugly coupe
At least the box fish has room for a bit of luggage

Got to agree.....that thing's plumb eewwwggly!

I cannot understand GM's thinking on their car styling. To be in such tough competition against the Japanese, their whole design team must be smoking wacky weed. The trucks still look pretty good but the rest of their cars have no distinctive lines or style at all. They need to bring the guys from the 50's and 60's out of retirement!

Sorry Dick, I have to disagree. While it's not exactly what I'd like to drive, it's not NEARLY as bad as that Scion box thing! Now THAT'S an ugly car and anyone that buys one should be slapped!

Yep. All they needed to draw the design for that thing was a T-Square!!
Funny though, some of the kids are tricking them out with thin tires, mags, and stuff. I guess 'odd' is cool these days.

At least BMW's still look like BMW's!!

Dick even if they do trick them out Butch is right and they are still ugly.
