[Paul-Bracq-BMW]

I just can't warm up to the design of this car. I really tried but every time I look at it I think it's ugly and overdone...

I understand they are previewing some of the lines of the M2 CSL in this hommage, but if they really want to do an hommage to the 2002 Turbo, they should just do it and not make a mishmash of the 2 cars...

Looking at them, the 2002 has simple, elegant lines with minimal detailing (Neue Klasse design inspired by the german Bauhaus), whereas the hommage is a japanese origami and has nothing germanic at all in its design.

I think BMW needs to get back to their design roots and make cars with beautiful proportions enhanced by minimal detailing (and not have multiple character lines). These are the designs that age best and will become classics...
