It is like when people try to tell me -- when I saw those buck teeth on the g22 non shadow, I was sold!

IMO, you cannot compare the looks of the F87 (grace, strength, flowing) vs G87 (looks like my 9 year old put it together....and forgot a few pieces of it...).

But, as always, looks are subjective...
Your 9 year old should start a car design company then lol.

This has been discussed and debated many times, so not looking to get into a bitter argument here haha. But IMO the f87 has a great front end, if a bit dated now (so many creases, very late 2010's), however the rear end looked very economy car. From the rear 3/4 the g87 is a wildly better looking car (to me).

Couple that with the beefy fenders it's a winner for me. The front bumper took me a bit longer to come to terms with, but the f15 style air intakes are dope.

Every car has good and bad angles, the f87 (IMO had some really bad ones) but was all in all a nice car. I have the same feelings towards the g87, I think a year or two of them being on the road will normalize the blocky/aggressive look quite a bit.
