A car never looks right as a concept. I can tell already by looking at that car that people are going to buy the shit out of those things. now if nissan could actually put a decent motor in an affordable car for once... or maybe they'll go the traditional route and release it with an n/a 2.4.
I think the 350Z, RX-8, Civic SI and GTO all look like ass.
I don't know too many people who have seen concepts, hated them and then turned around and bought them. I daresay most people see the concept and decide then whether or not they like it. Although, there are some designs that grow on people, but it's usually not an immediate reaction. I was neither here nor there about the G35, but when I saw it in person, I loved it.
