As a vehicle, it's fine and actually looks pretty good. As a Ferrari, it's not. It looks like a stubby compact sedan despite being the longest Ferrari ever made. The response is justified.

Someone did a side by side comparison with the Nissan Leaf.  The match was way closer than it should be.

I think it's kinda funny that after years of making cars with hideous front ends that everyone hated, BMW now has the best-looking German luxury cars on the market.

They have the best looking Pontiac Trans Am since the 1970s:

Which models are the ones you're talking about? Some of their models have massive grilles that look awful to me.

Examples: iX and 7 Series



I much prefer the smaller ones like this 3 Series:

The Bangle Butt BMWs were superior looking IMO compared to the Norelco Shaver grills many in the lineup have now:

I'm actually talking about the new Neue Classe models, such as the iX3 or the new i3. Those look extremely clean. I also like the look of the current X1, XM, and 5 series, but yeah, the 4 series, 7 series, and iX look awful.

For as much hate as the Acura beak grilles when they came out, they aged well and look rather muted today.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.
