Got this on the email. Sharing is caring.....

I think they stole the blue backlight idea from the Prius badge but have taken it to the next level. What do y'all think about it's looks?

i think it's a little too futuristic. i mean, it looks like it'd suck on side impact crashes and it would be horrible for having to look up to the side mirrors. then again, i'd sh*t myself if i saw one on the highway haha

headlights remind me of the new camaros

it just has way too much going on in my opinion

That's what I initially thought, too! Camaro with pig snout.
Rear reminds me of the Lexus LF-A at first glimpse.
Autobody shops nightmare car has arrived.

I saw that on the Car Design News site a month ago and my opinion still hasn't changed.

I still like the fast blue accents wrapping around it. It could work in production if used much less. Also can't go wrong with that interior.

Same time it just has way too sharp many character lines overall, especially along the sides. Sleek and simple surfaces are much more pleasing to the eye. Less is more.

Just one redo of the same concept should help decide if it's production-worthy.
