Maybe if you squint really hard and have poor eyesight! The 458 is beautiful, while this thing is a complete monstrosity.

DUH!! I love sarcasm!!! My daughter wants a shirt that reads “Sarcasm is another talented service I provide”. She’s only 11 and gets a lot of that part of her personality from me :0)

Get rid of the split paint job and that obnoxious smiley grille,

Looks like a cicada.

“Two-face” as a car.

The front end reminds me of an old Studebaker. Many people didn’t like them at first either.

I was thinking more of a metallic dark green, like a beetle’s shell. ( https://www.sunsigns.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/beetle.jpg) Or some variation of a deep dark browner even purple metallic

There is an all white one at the article and it looks worse. They need to fix the front end. Probably more than just the grill.

Customers originally didn’t like the sport nose and high wing on the Dodge Super Bee / Plymouth Superbird, so much so that dealerships were forced to order the stock grilles. A few years later many drivers rued the decision because they missed out on what became an icon.

I think it is a great looking car. Ditch the paint job and wheels.

I spoke with an engineer at GM over how that came to be so ugly.

It was warring sides of ownership between team ownership of space versus team ownership of systems.

Yeah, looks like the tip of a tongue being stuck out at you from that smiley grille!

A GM engineer I knew drove one to church just after they came out. He thought it was sooooo cool. He did NOT like my doubtful look as a response. My very first thought was “Man, that’s butt ugly.”

Soccer moms liked them.
