Hi Merv:

Briefly, what did the write-up say? Can't find an easy way to read it. Thanks

Looks pretty good from the side. OK from the front. But, OMG, the back looks like a General Motors boat.

Thanks Merv: That worked. I think the rear is fine. I think it will look more like the current car in person than in the pics.

It just looks as if they are trying to apply the same styling from the 750's. The single silver line as opposed to the lights extending the entire trunk lid. *Which I liked by the way*
