I'm super super butthurt that the first dedicated car from the M division since the M1 is this monstrosity. They even had the audacity to put the two roundels on the back windshield in some sort of "gently caress you" homage to the M1.

Please please please don't screw up the new M2.

Who the gently caress is in the focus groups that convince companies that this is acceptable? Can we put these people in a zoo somewhere so I can observe them?

focus groups really aren't about "do you like it or not" it's usually more like "what emotions does this design provoke" and other weird stuff like that

Someone said that the front is basically the pigs from Angry Birds; which I can see. The back just looks reminiscent of a failed abortion though.

hahaha I was thinking the same. The stuck on plexiglass rear window is a nice touch as well.

We may be being too foreword here. What if it’s some sort of new pedestrian safety thing wherein it sucks the pedestrian into the grill and safely deposits them in the rear?

Absolutely not man, disagreed. There is a way to make a good looking car with angles and blobs or whatever you want to call it, but it is not that. I am ashamed of that monstrosity existing.

e: I too want to see the 7 series but I've kind of had enough of extremely expensive vehicles, let's let some actually good platforms or features trickle down dammit. I get that Hyundai/Kia are good value but they're not undercutting the competition in price too much, it's still mostly very expensive for the decent trims of anything these days. At least IMHO

It's like that part in Back to the Future where they say Reagan is going to be president, except it's the early 2000's and you're telling people that Hyundai will have one of the best design teams in the car industry.

Yeah but can they do something with angles that doesn't cause a physical reaction of disgust in me.

Does the high percentage of leased BMWs make their customers more accepting of controversial or extreme styling? Because they know they'll only be stuck with it for 3 years, so why not go wild?

I think it would be sorta cool if that were the case, though I have no reason to think that it is.

It helped me pull the trigger on my M4 that if the market decides it's actually good and people want it in 3 years, I can sell it privately or just keep it, and if it ends up being trash that nobody wants I can walk away from it.

It's really looking to be the former though.
