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.
Honda has confirmed that the production 08 coupe will be almost identical to the concept above.
If so, it's a damn fine looking vehicle, with 275+ horses, for what should be around $26,000.
If they'd offer AWD it would be an Audi slayer.

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.

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!
