Chronically over-styled. Not a looker at all.

I'd prefer its looks to the V6 Elise, which i recon will be its direct rival

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

In this case, you would need to beholdin' a white stick and a Labrador

Looks like a magazine 'artist impression' that tried to cross an Exige with elements of the Mazda Furai concept, but fed it too many pies.

Basic concept is OK but they should have left it alone and resisted going back to add bits. What are the extra bonnet vents all about? It like a pretty girl with stupid piercings in her nose and lips. And a bad case of acne.

If you removed the badge from the front, it'd be an Audi.

Had potential, but the designer hasn't understood that "less is more".

Not heard that one before. If you just made it up - respect clapbow

IMHO that looks like it's been beaten with the ugly stick.

Too fussy in my mind.

And one I heard the other day that made me smile, " It has as much grip as a dog on lino" (Courtesy of Moto GP commentary)

Like every other concept car its utterly pointless - will never get made and certainly not looking like that.

Its like the 'world of the future' on Tomorrows World in the 70's - just crazy made up nonsense.

Quite a nice shape, but the detailing is a mess. If it got toned down for production it might be quite nice, though.

It is a bit 'sudden'.

Weren't the original Alpines built by Matra? I think the last car they manufactured before being closed for good was the Aventime.

I could be wrong mind.
