Looks very nice but I do laugh at Autoexpress stories. They harp on about this being the new C9 seen undisguised for the first time but only once do they mention the word "concept"... which it clearly is. They are even more sensationalist than The Sun.

I hope it does look like this but a)clearly as the OP points out they are not "spy shots", Autoexpress were either invited along or received a press email. and b)The car is very much still a concept and although I hope it changes very very little somehow I can see the final car looking quite as amazing....

tiny sleek mirrors, split front lights, huge flat twin exhausts, no rear door handles, flush rear glass, etc.

...those details are the bits for me that make the concept so clean and stunning and I cant seen any of them surviving the production process (mirrors and flush glass for sure.

ps. fingers crossed though as it really is pretty nice looking.
