Come on...how many different shapes of handles and reading lights are there anyway?
I say that they also copied the door latches, the rear-view mirror and the overall shape of the steering wheel. Wow, they're total copycats aren't they?
Give them a break. For better or worse, they've gone far away enough from conventional designs already.

The Fuga concept looks 100x better than the final M45, inside out. The interior is gorgeous with the innovative sunroof, and the black piano gloss trim looks very classy. Heck, even the butt is borderline beautiful!!
Makes you wonder just what happened to that beauty, no?

if only they left the white area on the rear taillights the same color as the car like in the fuga. I think then it would look alot better.

Love the interior, but looking at the front end, I still say they should've kept the Fuga concept's headlights & grille, unless they're saving it for something else - a coupe/convertible version? . . . or the next Q?

Damn, u beat me to it. But anyway, the production car just looks like a regular *** car. The lower bumper portion is not as interesting as the concepts and the headlights are not not projectors or so it seems. Wheels look nice, not as fat or wide as concepts, but the interior is exactly the same. I love the interior a lot but at the same time I hate the interior too. Its executed very well, but something about it I just hate. I think its th shape. Hopefully you can still opt. for the 2 tone, that was sick. Im glad all of the chrome accents are stil lthere. I want to be see the back, hopefully they fixed those lights.
If the new GS comes out looking exactly the way it does now, I will be purchasing it immediately compared to this M45.
Overall , I think its just okay, I think it lost some of its exclusivity and headturning looks.
Or maybe I need to see more pics before i come to such conclusions..
This would be hot with a subtle body kit.
