This is a concept. Who cares who has the best looking concept? I care what actually gets produced. And besides, BMW's have always been boring looking cars. I always think of BMW's as the Civics of the luxury world. Then again, faux wood paneling never enticed me very much so I'm probably not the best judge.

Yeah, also funny how this vanilla-sedan-based coupe trumps a certain japanese (so-called) sports car in looks AND power.

Bummed, but bring on OU!
The front is ugly. Scion Tc'ish. The looks just don't mesh well, all around. But, it's not hard to beat BMW in the looks dept, currently. An Accord is a far stretch from even the most humble BMW in the driving dept. So it remains a ho hum family car. Dress a dog in a tux, and it's still a dog.

Looks good...only problem is it's an Accord, which translates into you'll see a million of them on the road. I'd prefer something a little more--special...something like an RX-8 :P...

Man thier styling is sooo derivative. They've been stealing cues from BMW for years... now they borrow from Hyundai. Seems to show Hyundai has come a long way.

Front end looks like a Honda copying a Hyundai that was trying to copy an older Camry. Back end looks like a well-done version of the new Altima's nightmarish taillights though.

At least they've gotten away from the terrible 'slab sided' 1-dimensional look that current Accords and low end Acuras have. To me it looks soooo bland, almost unfinished, and definitely cheap. Here they've sculpted the thing to have some ... some... well something curvey at least. Make the coup RWD and they might have something. Until then, well, just another powerful FWD transport capsule.

Looks like a Pontiac G6 humped a Ford 500!
I hate the new European bumper and hood height regulations! I know they're supposed to make cars more "pedistrian friendly" but as far as I'm concerned, bi-peds should stay the hell out of the streets. If you're dumb enough to run in front of a car or truck, you deserve what you get. These new regs make all of the "one car for the world" products look like **** in the front!
