What matters in the end is what we think when we drive it.
I've been posting here for a long time and on other boards and usenet forum before these, and in no way was the E30/E36/E46 hated like the renderings/leaks of the G8x so far. The closest was in 2001 when the E65 7 Series was soundly trashed by most and was given the derogatory "Bangle Butt" moniker.

And I disagree that what (only) matters is how it drives. Other things like how a car looks and sounds, quality/reliability, cost, etc., all cumulatively matter to our ultimate buying decision.
