Am I a terrible person for guffawing at work over this?

Difficult to explain to my coworkers that I cannot tell them the joke though.

I like how the only thing that can bring this thread back from the dead after 14 kills it with a megaton Holocaust joke is an Italian sex sedan.

Yup. The whole design is pretty lazy, but I'll with-hold full judgement until I see the front.

Also what in the gently caress is up with every car these days having the same basic tail-light shape? It's super boring and makes me hate new cars even more, there's no individuality to them.

The Lexuses look really interesting in person. The detail curves are better in 3D and with actual normal lighting.

The Alfa looks like an Acura ILX with a body kit.

I mostly agree. They're still not quite intriguing as opposed to extreme, but they look much better on the street than in studio shots.

I mean I went shopping for one recently with a lady and was told (in the showroom) "no because the front [grille] looks awful". And that's for the new NX, which is honestly one of their better designs. The surfacing is fine but the detailing - e.g. the design of the grille, lights, etc. are pretty ugly.

Still better than Toyota, though. The Lexus dealer had a Toyota dealer next door and I have no idea what's up with their design team. Just awful, which is a shame since the previous gen was pretty alright on the design front.

Land Wind was the first thing that came to mind for me too.

The annoying thing is I've seen the new Discovery due in 4/5 years time but I haven't seen it *wink wink* and it's really loving cool and needs to be in production now.

Looks classy as gently caress IMO but I think the minivan image is gonna be fighting the cop image for dominance of the Explorer cause that's the best selling police car these days.
