Not the ugliest ducking to come from Bangle's asylum. Still, I'd think you'd struggle to make a car uglier than the 1 series

Hmm - yet to be impressed with any of the Bangle Team designs - my opinion hasn't changed Difficult to describe, but it looks 'heavy on the sides' - perhaps a bit slab sided? It seems to have a very high door line and I'm not sure about the double crease running along the bonnet to the A pillar.

The back doesn't work either



The double crease running from the C pillar and the doors doesn't work either- especially the way it cuts through the petrol filler cap. Not impressed.

That rear shot makes it look like the 'reasonably-priced car' from TopGear

Isn't this design the legacy of a design team that has already moved on? Thought that Bangle had been 'moved' sideways and this is the last of his major influences...


Doesn't it look just like a Hyundai Accent crossed with the Scoupe or whatever name they invented?

seeing I still have the pic on my webspace..I can think of another 'reasonably-priced car' that it resembles:






Fancy nicking the boot styling off a primera
