looks alright, a bit curvy cutesy... looks more like a Z2 than a Z4. needs a bit more aggro in the styling IMO.

Its not doing it for me.
Both previous models look better.
Everything just looks a bit bland.

Love it, looks perfect...!! Side profile has lost the fat bulbous E89 arse end, front nicely swooping down to air scoops that don’t have those ridiculous parrot beaks that the M2 have for example. Perfect proportions.

Looks as good as an F type imho.

Good we all have a different view though. :thumbsup:

Back looks great, really great!

Front looks good, other than the kidney grills

Lower side profile lets it down. Side skirts look like they're straight off the E85, no depth or shape to them. Add aero skirts and the side profile will look fantastic.

I've been looking at 981 S Boxsters and F Types recently, but I'm seriously tempted by a new one of these, but would kick myself in a few years when they release the ///M. But then again, if it sounds like a M3 or M4, then the 40i option might be better. ///M will have better styling though.

Hm. Those pictures make it look a little.... feminine? (Am I allowed to say that?)

Colour has an awful lot to do with it too though...

Why does every car these days have a waistline that rises towards the rear rather than being horizontal? The picture john-e89 has posted makes it look like the old Alfa GTV. :roll:

If that is how it actually looks I won't be a fan - maybe the Supra will look better (then I can still have a roof)! :)

I'm massively unimpressed if that's on the money. Needs more of the concept retaining. If it ends up looking like that I already waiting for the facelift! :rofl: :thumbsdown:
