On the M6 last weekend, approaching something....wonder what that is, looks interesting
Nice, I'm overtaking .....looks sideways. Wait, what the f
k is that???
I think I'm in a minority of one when it comes to the i3, I really like the snub-nosed looks and the almost random collection of panels stuck all over them. They're almost intentionally ugly, in the manner of an Alfa SZ, Audi A2, Aston Lagonda or the current Jag XJ. Nice, I'm overtaking .....looks sideways. Wait, what the f
k is that???As with all such cars, the manufacturers could have instructed the designers to play it safe and knock out a conservative pastiche of older models from the back catalogue (see the Bertone B99 concept which Jaguar wisely declined) but instead they seem to have thought 'f
k it, you guys do what you want, let's not pander to the old farts we've been flogging stuff to for years, let's find some new customers.'To my mind, that approach is infinitely preferable to the lazy design methods BMW have been employing of late, i.e. take a 1 series, 3 series, whatever, then mangle it as necessary to fill some newly created niche, before smoothing over the lumps. Look at the X1 or that 3 series hatchback thing for god's sake.

on girls its a 1664 moment
they look 16 from the rear, but 64 from the front.
At Uni we used to call girls who were fit from a distance but all wrong up close "LRF's" or Low Resolution Foxes....they look 16 from the rear, but 64 from the front.

As a Mito OV owner, I agree with the Mito being nice from the rear 3/4 view, not so nice head on or front 3/4 view. It's the headlights that ruin it IMO.
No offence intended 
I don't dislike the Mito (it's still more interesting than 99% of the cars that other people drive) and yes, the rear 3/4 do look great but compared to these, the front end styling is poor
As a current Honda Civic owner and an ex-Impreza WRX owner, I don't really have a leg to stand on though (neither look fantastic from any angle)
But. I don't get all this Alfa love that seems to crop up everywhere. I think most of them are horrid looking things, and the interiors aren't much better.
Just my opinion but I feel like I'm gonna get flamed on here for saying that.
