@Ash78: The wonderful thing about Stiggers
Is Stiggers are wheelmen supreme
Their nerves are made out of tungsten
Their bones are forged manganese
They're tossy drifty hoony grippy
Gods of heel and toe
But the most wonderful thing about Stiggers
Is I'm the One, you know.
@UDMan: This one's rocking a bit of the Z4 vibe. I'll have to see one in person. It might just work, and the photos can't convey it. Or it might be an overwrought, baroque embarrassment.
All of their grilles now have too much entasis and that Ford shaving blade thing going on. It just doesn't make any sense in the context of the entire car. I suppose their marketing research people have discovered that rich buyers like prominent grilles.
They're probably right. The first Q45 just has an enormous, ornate badge, no visible radiator opening at all, and they didn't set any sales records with those things - which were the equivalent of a zen mountain stream, people.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Indeed, just take a look at the MB grills/badges, and especially Audi's designs. It astound me that I can use a MB badge as a frisbee and that the Auto-Union rings run nearly 1/3 the width of the car

@UDMan: It's unfortunate that car didn't get a better reception from the buying public, I really liked it. Sort of a police interceptor that went to finishing school. In black with the painted wheels it looks like ten types of badass.
@mr_dude: You have a lot more faith in the auto industry than I do...
Btw, congrats on the star! Now I don't have to follow you around, promoting your comments...
@Scandinavian Flick: Ah those were good 17:00-20:00 EST times.
I'm just assuming it'll have a baleen grill, but at least the shape doesn't resemble an overstuffed ups box. 2011 looks a lot more G35 coupe to the baseline's G35 sedan.
that doesn't count as a teaser, half of every car nowadays has a silhouette like that
i can't think of many cars that manage to have a bad roof line, its everything downwards of it that makes the difference

Yes, but is it any better than this version of the "M"?

I still like the first-gen...if only I could change the color of the instrument panel lights.
The bonus on the older ones is, depreciation is in your favor.
