i must say that looks much better than the prototype. those topshots are nice to, often they tell more about a cars aero than the side profile.

the rear wheel arches make more sence as they're probably the result of some heavy boat tailing early on, which leaves the wheels outside the main body... stylists will like this as with some visual tricks they can make it appear as if the car has a wider track in the rear than the front.

the fornt half of the car reminds me a bit of the citroen C4 coupé

wich has a Cd of 0.29... not to bad for a rather tall hatchback

i suppose the stylists where not to happy to see the squared muscle car face go.
