Jdesign Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 What are your thoughts on this? https://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/new-bmw-concept-touring-coupe-glorious-z4-based-breadvan I personally found the proportions to be a bit odd, but styling wise it actually looks pretty good IMO.

basedspider Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 The rear looks a little crunched down like the X4/X6. Rear quarters slope upward a bit too high for my liking and rear window looks tiny. Despite those (unavoidable) criticisms I still think it looks great. GT look. Doubt it would sell well here in the US unfortunately and I'm sure that will be one of the biggest reasons it never sees production, would love to see it go on sale regardless though.

SteelBlue Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Proof that they can still design good looking cars, but for some reason are actively choosing not to. Or this has been on the shelf for 2-3 years during the old design language but have chosen to show it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Roloff Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 I like it. Is it perfect? No. I think it’s a far better brand of offbeat than the stuff they’ve been pushing lately. Hopefully this means that some restrained cars will make it through the pipeline instead of all these gaudy ass SUV’s. Also, a B58 clownshoe? Sign me up!

I saw an XM yesterday, didn’t know what it was at first but wasn’t about the design at all. besides the lip under the rear window that is also an ugly carry over from the SUV’s I like this as well. I think the tail lights and mid section of the rear have some Z8 influence. I would be surprised if we got it too but seems like it’s different enough from the Supra coupe that it could be marketed at a higher price point.

If you wanted that kind of styling, why wouldn’t you buy a Urus or something instead? That’s who I think they’re chasing, the RSQ8 (which I think looks way better still), Urus, big flabby ostentatious SUV market. Give me as much Z8 influence as possible 😂 I think they might have a slot to market it as more of a GT alternative to the Supra sports car; soften it up, make it sporty but long distance comfy and be the perfect stylish 2 person touring car. I don’t think a sports car like that makes sense with the two series/M2 and Supra already existing. I think it’s not likely it ever sees production either way though.
