Am I the only one that thinks it looks ugly? =/

[filanj]

It reminds me of the madd hatter's hat

Has too many elements of the Z4 body design, IMO.

Add me to the "No-Likee-List." However, the driving experience is likely to be first-rate.

Funny how more on the Infiniti website think its "ugly"...but more on the bmw site "like it"....

Some good old blind infiniti pride

I like it, looks kinda cool. Front looks decent, could have been better but I still like it... I absolutely love the side, the body lines are incredible, especially the one on above the skirts. The rear looks good, but I'm not personally liking the taillight shape. Interior... same as every other BMW interior, eh... but the i-drive shyt is awesome.

I don't particularily care for the looks. I really like the 3 series but don't care for this some reason. The 135i will be a quick little b*stard though.

[CrazyRuskie]

According to BMW it will be about equal to the 335i coupe speed wise, so I think I'd take the 3 over this 1. I like the looks of the 3 more. I wonder how much this thing weighs?

[SwivelHips]

Too weird, are the first two pics of a copper-orange car, and the rest red? If so, I liked it in the copper pics but have to agree in red it looks a little odd. How can that be? Could also be one of those you have to see in person. But 300/300 is nothing to sneeze at, especially if it's light. I only skimmed the writeup but I didn't see a curb weight.

Well, if that's the case I'd take a 3 also.

Don't believe what BMW says on this. The curb weight should be around 3200 lbs. Better believe I will get the moonroof delete and no power seat option. No run-flats and some forged wheels and we could see 3050. I've also read that the car will get 6 piston Brembos on front and 4 pistons on the rear standard. Vishnu v2 and turbo back exhaust and we're talking 380 whp and 390 wtq (vishnu pulling back on torque to save drivetrains).

[CrazyRuskie]

If this thing is priced below or around the 335i and actually DOES weigh 3200 lbs I'd definately take this over the 3. Otherwise, no thanks.

[AbInitio]

I've seen one in person in europe a couple of month ago, and I liked it.

It's rumoured to price out nicely optioned around $35-$37k.

I think 135i is the only car i would buy even though it is ugly!

man, imagine how fast it is and CAN be!
