I admit it does not photograph well.
In person though...

It's a stunner.

Scott26, can you give us an overview of the F40 and how it stacks up against the outgoing F20?

Any plans to bring this to the US?

Add me to the list who think the grill (on most all new BMW's) are about as ugly as a Lexus. Just my taste and I'm sure BMW or anyone for that matter doesn't care what I like.

Honestly the only negative point (but not a small one though) is the change to FWD. Other than that it actually looks pretty good IMHO, even the grille is quite ok this time. I don't know what Mercedes or Audi currently offer more in this class (sure we have to wait for the new A3, I guess it will look better than the A class), of course despite the AMG and RS versions.

Have you driven it? Is it really THAT bad?

I wouldn't go for this poor man's hatchback or the poor man's M car lol.

Doesn't change the fact that I think this brand should be building fun to drive cars across its whole lineup.
