Looks very similiar to the new 1 series. What do you all think?

🤮just buy a Camry & be done with it.

J-RO · 09-26-2024, 07:16 AM

I like the previous model better.

Littlecoupe · 09-26-2024, 09:00 AM

The front end gives me Ford Focus vibes.

Honestly, I look at it and I don't feel an ounce of BMW. It doesn't look sporty.

rad_thundercat · 09-26-2024, 09:21 AM

Yea it’s like they tried to blend a Ford focus with an suv

JoeyJoeJo · 09-26-2024, 09:47 AM

First reaction is bluerch but after that wears off it's just meh. Generic eurobox built to meet regulations.
Probably a supremely effective family tool but sparks zero interest for me.

No, thank you. Not for me.

Companies keep ruining their designs by pandering to the Chinese market. Keep it in China please.

SeanJP · 09-26-2024, 10:47 PM

Keep it lightweight, give it a turbo 6, and I’m on board IF they completely redesign the exterior. I agree with the remarks about Ford Focus vibes.

that car is built on the fwd based UKL platform from the mini cooper. It’s significantly uglier, I’d rather have a mini.

I saw a 2xx gran coupe in the parking lot of my office the other day and did a huge double take like what the fk is that thing. Hideous.
