Very much an 80's design... it was all about edges and angles back then...

Does it erupt ?
I'm probably biased, but i think the pinnacle of the whole angular design thing is the 3rd gen camaro. Graceful flowing designs are one thing. Angular designs need to be super aggressive or they're just wasted imho. This looks poorly proportioned and weak to me. I'm not even a fan of the Espirit.
Angular design peaked (and thankfully died) when someone stole William Town's ruler.
He designed the AM Bulldog and Lagonda Wedge
