In the real world, it´s not that easy. There´s politics involved, there´s a lot of opinions on "what´s good looking"(edit: and they don´t always come from people who know that they talk about. they just have a seat on the BOD...) and a lot of talk about marketing parameters, technical & engineering aspects (crucial this, obviously) costs and whatnot.
It´s obvious they went for expressing power rather than beauty. The car certainly looks aggresive, not unlike modern Mercedes Benzes with all their mutant appendages. And of course it will sell.
I love the retro " P O R S C H E " font they used.
