Might look better if they added about 50 more vents, grills, gills, whatever the fuck you call them.

Well, okay. Disastrous is too strong a word. I take that back.

The side elevation is nice, but the front 3/4 needs work.
If any one element kills it for me, it's the headlights and the grille.

In combination, it looks too much like a flounder or a wide-mouthed bass to me. :hsughr:

IMO, of course. h:

For some reason I thought that of all people you would like it. But I agree about the bass part. :rofl:

:chuckles:

Yeah, the slash-cut cylindrical side intakes are a really neat feature.
There ought to be a way to incorporate the same element into a set of projector headlamps. Kind of like how the foglights are recessed into the front cowl.

And the low grille and lip just need to go, along with the louvers in front of and above the front wheels. :run:
