As some may know, I'm a bit of a flow freak. Things have to work together to look good 99% imo. I'm not crazy about this thing as a whole, though the rear end looks much more upscale thanks to the symmetrical design with the taillights and the exhaust tips.

Front = Prius (I guess)
Back = Lexus LS460

Total = Ummmm...I'll have to look at this thing in person...maybe it'll look better???

does anyone think the front looks just a little bit like the merc r class? idk why but i think it does

Year's_End · 02-28-2008, 11:34 PM

You're absolutely right. It does resemble the R-Class, especially the 3-d foglight housings.

mmm def · 02-29-2008, 12:15 AM

back is ok, front reminds me of the R-class and the new Saturn coupe..Austra?

lol ya astra headlights.

The European version looks SOOO much better. The American version just looks cheap in comparison. Why do cars always get screwed up on the way to our shores?

Ender514 · 02-29-2008, 06:53 AM

I totally agree that the exhausts/taillights look cool. Overall I do prefer the front of the European version front looks better. I'm not exactly crazy about the car too, it feels like somethings missing. Maybe it'll look better in real-life though!

Some changes (you had to expect them, it's me

):

Before:

After:

- Added Europen front bumper. Much better than the US version, but even still it looks incomplete.
- Got rid of some chrome from front bumper.
- Headlights are wrapped around the grille a little more, they were spaced out and looked weird before.

Before:

After:

- Removed some chrome detailing from the lights and made the less protruding.
- spaced the exhausts further apart.
