I got to watch a replica hoon around a track a few years ago, even that was pretty sweet. Mostly because I'll never ever get to see a real one on a track.

Sheesh, it's like they styled it with a weed whacker in the hands of a 13 year old. It makes the Civic look halfway decent

Why of all stupid things has the reverse shark fin c-pillar style become a fad? It has never looked good. What are they even going for with it?

Windows that extend past the rear passengers, yet roll down into the doorframe more than 1/3?

That is like the least awful thing about that car. Not that it's good, just compared to that front end it barely even catches my eye. And to top it off with the front of the car being 90% black grille they had to stick the ugly front camera on the only painted bit?

Are we seriously at a point where companies are building such big ugly sack of poo poo cars with crap visibility that we need to augment all vehicles with cameras front and back? That's depressing as gently caress.

Yeah, when Nissan came out with their 360 camera system it made it a mandatory thing for other brands to have on their top models. Can't get left behind in the feature wars! Even if it's not all that useful of a feature for most cars That said a front camera is a godsend on a car like a corvette or anything with a low front lip.

Who are the "yes men" that sign off on this stuff? This is the emperors new clothes all over. People afraid to say no because they will lose their job or something. This is how we ended up with iPhones that have camera bumps instead of being perfectly smooth backs!

And what the hell is up with the thickens-towards-the-top A-pillar? That looks horrible. spleen merchant posted:It looks like a Lexus collided with a Pelican.
