This thing looks like the bastard child of a new Camaro and an Edsel

Bring back Mr Bangle~~~

I don't care what people say about him, he designed the E60 the way I like it! Currently, the only model I like from Adrian is the F12/F13 6 Series! Period.

My biggest gripe is not the design itself - I actually love the design direction of these new vert concepts - no, what I'm totally disappointed by, is the fact that this 328 "hommage" is basically a rebadged Concept Connected Drive. Its one thing to badge-engineer a production car - that is still kind of okay, as long as the end result is good looking and performs well - but badge-engineering a concept? And one that is supposed to "honor" the original 328? EPIC FAIL, for sure... although, like I said, I do actually like the design of this thing - Connected Drive Concept had better solutions for headlights, and I really don't like any of those butaforic retro touches, but overall, I like it. Just wish they came up with something that actually is an hommage to the 328 - not just renamed a different concept, slap a couple of retro elements on it and call it a day. Piss pour job - if I had a designer on staff who did that, I'd fire him/her right away... not that I have designers on staff or anything
