That being said, you could say the exact same thing about what EnI said. You cannot assume that everyone who dislikes this design is immediately: blind; tasteless; stupid because they cannot comprehend the design or a BMW hater.

Frankly, those are trite accusations.

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

Just read a market report for the E30 M3 today, and now we have yet another back to basics BMW for a new generation to look forward to! Can't wait to see it, hopefully we'll get an NA debut @ L.A.

but the reason to why ive said it twice thus far is.. no 1.. the first time i saw the pics.. i thought it was ugly..but i was urged to wait for offical pics..
i did that..and it was still ugly..so i needed to vent my opinion..

and now one last time..
given these latest shots.. its still ugly from the rear.. short and stubby from the side.. boring im from the front..
the interior is surprisingly good looking though..i like the way its designed..and it seems to be rather high quality for a low end modell..

so thats it..now you wont hear me say that its ugly again..
unless someone asks my opinion

Peace out
So Artist, what do you think about the 1-er coupe?

Jokes aside, it's much better than the initial photos lead us to believe. Looking forward to more shots.

It's gonna sell like hotcakes! Audi & MB, BMW has really got one up on you by getting to this segment first.

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

Got Damn! Thank god I said, I'd reserve my judgement for this car until IRL or official pics. Now looking at the curves in the boot and how that whole design scheme has played out....I like it!

Still not as beautiful as 3er coupe but still hot!

I can't say that i don't like it but i also can't say that i like it.

Compared to E92 (which is the most beautiful BMW of the recent years IMO) , this coupe looks average at best.

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

Stateside, this car will still be too expensive to become neo-ricer material. However, I can imagine that there will be a fair amount of juiced 128's shoing up on the streets. I expect many a tacky custom job, but not an outright Integra-magnitude frenzy that damages BMW's image.

I was just talking to one of our best brains about this car and the question came up: What is BMW's take on this car in the US? What do they want it to be? Is this a performance-oriented BMW that dispense with the bloat and frivolities in favor of delivering a pure driving experience? Or is this an entry-level vehicle for aspirationals, who couldn't quite hack getting into a 328i?
