At some angles it looks pretty nice, but at others it looks pretty gay.

I think that I'll have to see the coupe version and take another look at it.

I'll rawk a TSX any day of the week over that thing... I'd also take the following cars over that:

IS300 sportwagon
Volvo C70 T5R or similar
Saab 9-3
Subaru WRX STI
Audi A6 quattro 4.2
Accord coupe
... even an older C32 AMG

oh, and BMW need not worry about their sales of the 5 and 7, since their actual loyal customer base won't step back from a 5 to a 3 just cuz of the similar look... but the "poor" ppl who desire (but can't afford) a 5 may get the 3 instead, so in fact it may help their sales after all.

I just know I'm looking forward to the Honda Fit... I can't wait to see what that thing offers

Don't forget the Acura TL

The BMW looks alright to me. But I wouldn't waste all that money on that car that's for sure. If I were to go for a bmw, I would get a nice 97 M3 or something for like 25G's.

I really like the look of the new 3. I also love the new TSX and TL. It would be a tough decision but one I hope to make relatively soon.

Bruno you *** monkey the entire bmw purest camp is up in arms over the new vision the chief designer, Chris Bangle, has taken the company. You obviously don't read many reviews.... they are comparing it to a pontiac. do some google searches and enlighten yourself. The A6 kicks the 5 series *** in terms of look.

And audiophilia, we own other cars besides hondas.
