Some people don't like the look of the RC-F based on pictures... as soon as they see it in person they change their mind...

IMO the RC-F is the one of the bunch that has the exotic car looks and you know it when people go "holy crap that's nice! what car is it!??!" lol

As far as the new RS5, it looks like it just got minor tweaks on the looks, a bit more aggressive and more sharp lines but I feel it's missing the wow factor that the old one had when it came out. I like the performance numbers it's putting down. I'd have to see it in person and drive it. Might consider it since my GS lease is up at the end of the year but then again, do I want to switch from Lexus? hmmm....

 

None of those new cars would make me do a double-take when they roll by. Why? Because they don't have the same distinction the E46 M3 vs 3-series had. You can easily tell from a distance if it's a M3 or just a 3-series rolling through. Nowadays, they all look the same with the "F-sport" or "M-package" or "AMG package" from a distance.

So as far as looks factor goes, new cars do nothing for me.

Edit: just using E46 as an example since that's a car everyone here knows. Other models are also more distinctive such as the second gen CTS-V or the Evo's (except for X).

 

Indeed. A lot of noise as of recent, on designers from other luxury/exotic brands leaving to head to Hyundai/Genesis/Kia. We could be in for an extended period of some really visually appealing Koreans cars. Great time to be an enthusiast!

 

exotic? LOL I might say trying too hard or outlandish, but def not exotic.

 

oh please---- grill is different, lights are different, wheels are different, oh but wait, it does have 4 wheels.

 

I think you will see the striking similarity if you just black out the headlights and grill; body and facade are very similar.

 

Agreed. I think the new Infiniti Q60 looks more exotic, and cohesive.
