The less greenhouse there is the more protective the car will be from bullets.

Just as Mr. Clarkson said about the 300C.

I hate it, to be blunt.

Looks obesely out of proportion and better served as something to scare young kids to sleep than serve as an automobile.

Not to mention resembling a block of butter which has started melting around the edges.

I'm going to buck the trend here. i think it's a fantastic looking car. there is an overreliance on the huge wheels, but the wheelbase, stance, even the details, please me. I loved the 427 concept, and this is no exception.

The bluff Nose might be a bit much, but at least it's characterful and interesting.

I quite like this, there i said it

but then again i don't think the Dodge Nitro is a bad exterior design

If they are looking for performance they can start by giving the car a massive diet.
