It has a certain je ne sais quoi, but I don't think I could agree that it looks sweet. Too angular and disjointed to be pretty in any conventional sense.

Nice sounding engine tone on the 3 litre V6 though.

I assume you are referring to the TG review of the car............

Am I right in thinking that I could see the front of a Silverstone, S2000 in the "cool" section?

Steven, see the thread just started on that very point. I thought it was in the "cool" section too, but wasn't entirely sure...... Markwneale thinks otherwise!

Beemers to me are not a nice car. The brand stands for pretty much everything I hate.

Remove the badge, that to me, is a nice modern car. Very very unique lines.

(Sorry!)

i have to disagree, to me it looks like they've dented the sides in with a hammer...yuck nasty....nice backend though, kinda cute.. but not a patch on the S. The S is "Jackanackanory"

Col, take more water with it

I kinda like it, it is growing on me slowly. I think it has good proportions. Not a V6 though, it is a straight 6, sorry to be pedantic.
