i think the 4 gran coupe looks great, i think the ls500 looks better than i original thought it looked, but it's not that roomy inside.

i know i'm in a distinct minority, because ugly is the new beautiful but i absolutely hate the looks of the new GX.

I think the 4 series Gran Coupe looks great except for the grille. Maybe it'll grow on me eventually the way it's growing on the car, but right now I'm still not loving it.

Maybe I've just gotten used to seeing the grille. But also, I think BMW did a pretty good job flowing all the lines of the car in such a way that the grille looks like it was meant to be there. In fact, I think that the LCI 3-series looks a bit weird in comparison - not that the grille design isn't better on the 3-series... It is, but the line flow just isn't as good as on the pre-LCI. And, they messed-up the headlights on the 3-series, IMO.

Not long ago I saw this Cayenne Coupe... Thoughts on that?

Looks is a Pass for me.

Hated the first few I saw but it grew on me.

Plus, it has the cool factor for being a Porsche.

difference between cayenne coupe and reg cayenne is pretty subtle (just more angled back and thus less cargo room).

That Cayenne is towering over those smaller crossovers around it!

Yes, I think the Cayenne is deceptively large. It looks bigger than it actually is until you actually stand next to one.

Ok, I have a new one for ya'll.

I was sitting at the light today and saw one of these Kia Kona's go by and I was too slow to get out my phone so I found a pic of the exact car in same color.

While observing I noticed the car had some ummm odd lines?

Looking at it from the back gave it a FAIL.
What do you all give it?

Pass. I actually think it’s an improvement over the previous generation Kona.

I don’t mind the Hyundai Kona’s styling. I got one as a rental in Europe and it wasn’t very good, but it was easier on the eyes than the awful Citroen crossover I ended up with in 2021.

Agreed. It’s not just a bland vehicle that looks like every other one in its class.

Looks better than the dreary Honda HR-V.
