I like the rear end treatment. The front end, on the other hand should have never left the drawing board. The sides are too slab like, devoid of any character, this, IMO makes the car look shorter and taller than it probably really is. If I were a customer and this was on the showroom floor I'd pass it by.

Ah, no. Could be a Toyota Century. All the's missing is the cloth lace rear window curtains.

I did not see the front end shot initially, only that side profile from the rear.

The front is hideous, worse the modern Cadillacs. It never should have even hit the drawing board. The interior is horrible, that long flat panel is just wrong from a proportion perspective, the IC should be broken off from the center panel. It's worse than a Tesla, and I would never buy a Tesla simply because I can't stand that huge flat panel.

I love it from the sides and particularly from the rear, and I love both the retro wheels and the retro steering wheel (they really took me back, in a good way). On the other hand, the dashboard and console are woefully uninspired and the front headlights are abominable.
