Try as I may... I just can't get into it. I could almost salvage a "Well, it's not very striking, but it is very classy and handsome." but the angular, and very staccato-looking rear lights break form with what could be a very black tie motif.

What happened to the playbook that sculpted the beautiful rears on the A3 sportback and R8? They tossed it out for... nothing really. It's a shape that says nothing about the car's pretentions. It's not futurist and sedate... it's not low-key and classy... it seems more like a "Transformers Shape" pulled from the Honda or Acura playbook, but even they are handling such details better nowadays.
