The only issue (and it's a small one) is that Ford saw fit to incorporate a rear quarterlight between the B and C pillars, apart from that very minor detail... it's near on perfect in my eyes.
I think the Saleen or Rousch versions took care of that issue. I agree, it looks much tougher w/o.

I do like the new E90's exterior. I remember when I was looking, the changeover was coming, and once I read up though, I went out and got the e46. The reasons are the interior.
Having borrowed the e90 sedans as loaners for maintenance, I really, really hate that interior. Talk about bland! But what really kills me is that they got rid of one of the key design cues of the BMW. Like the "Double Kidney", and "Hoffmeister Kink", having the center console facing the driver was a key design cue of a BMW.
And now it's flat.
Still holding hope for the e92 M3 though...
(note the E46 in my 'tar
)
To the OP, the GLI Package 2 is quite possibly the sleekest and most appealing car I have seen in the past 5 years, i dont know what your talking about.

Totally agree with the original post. I don't like how the new BMWs and Mercedes look more like Japanese cars than European cars. Not that Japanese cars look bad, I just like variety.
I hate what Bangle has done to trunks. In 15 years he'll be like shaker knit sweaters and leg warmers.
Luckily there is Audi!

new cars are plain ugly and they all look the same, if i were to buy something new now it'd be a VW, probably a golf (rabbit, thats a retarded name just for the US market) probably turbo diesel.
however i'm not, i'm currently saveing up for a triumph spitfire, though my perfect car would be a cobra the old one, not the GT500.

MMM I heart my Mini!
I love my MINI as well. But I was happy to be driving the Rav4 today when it started pouring and the roads flooded. If I had the MINI out I don't think I could have gotten home!
Does anyone know if it floods bad in Portland, Oregon? I know it rains a lot there and I'm trying to decide if I should keep my MINI when I move or not.
evoluzione said:knew you were going to say that
i've actually started looking at buying an older car, from say, 20-25 years ago, there's some classic designs from that era, and some today that are echoing those designs too...
let me see if i can find some picture examples...
Here's one....

Actually, that was Von Hooydonk. The new 3 series is the fist full-Bangle design.
Don't like the butt on the new 3 either .
I truly think that the previous 3 will be one of those classic cars that people will fight over in 15 years - even though there are so many of them.
