| ...red-orange metallic BMW 1-Series. In this case a 135i. | |
| All of my ambivalence about the styling of this car disappeared with the sight of this jet black GT-R. It's amazing what coat of shiny black paint will do for the looks of a car about which you are ambivalent. I've noticed the BMW 1-series coupe which looks a little tallish and/or cutesy in other colors looks sensational in black. | |

I saw a silver four-door backing out of a space and at first thought it was an E60 BMW 5 Series and I'm thinking "If you don't see the nose, that's a good-looking car". Then he came around towards me and I could see that it was no Fiver but the new Hyundai Genesis and it was indeed a good-looking car for lacking the visual trauma of the E60's nose but retaing the clean sides and roofline. Thus it is pretty generic but quite handsome in it's way. |

Driving to work last week, wondered why the traffic's so slow, finally make my way around a bright red Maserati Gran Turismo. Like he was worried about doing 40 mph. |

I saw another new Acura TL today...sorry, that styling can't grow on me. A mess of random angles and edges, the weird grille, the somehow unhappy greenhouse...it's like a Japanese version of Art + Science, but a lot less unified. A shame, as the 04-08 generation was a decent looking car.

Replying to: fintail (Jan 20, 2009 6:28 pm) I agree with you on the new TL. I think there's a lot more "handomse" luxury vehicles out there in this class. Lexus ES, Infiniti G or even M. I'd actually even get a Hyundai Azera or Genesis over the new TL.

...black VW Tiguan. Why does VW name its SUVs/Crossovers these WEIRD names? Did the Tiguan replace the Toureg? What the heck is a "Tiguan?" What the heck is a "Toureg?"
