the front end is hideous - the rest of the design is not much better - what a turn off - the downward slide continues.....

Agreed, this car looks horrible. The design line on the side runs up way too early and Lexus like, just like the door handles and the rear. The F30 might not drive that great but boy it looks like a true BMW. As a bimmer fanboy for 20 years I'm actually dumbfounded as I think into the future when I will have the unfortunate task of one day replacing my E82. I hope the GTI stays true to its roots but FWD makes me gag.

Just in my state dealers have lost over 500 people that were perspective G20 buyers to other brands, due to the aesthetic. One of my customers has owned at least 2 of every single three series starting with the E30. hasnt owned a non bmw since the early 80s, just bought a new Mercedes because he couldnt force himself to be seen in the G20. the only good thing about this car is that it will keep f30 resale high

NOPE. People that were waiting for this car are either moving to Mercedes, or upgrading to 5s. might be elitist of me, but I have noticed that the vast majority of people that like this 3, currently drive bottom trim cars

people think it looks like a lexus because it does. In general the G20 is very very feminine looking which is a classic lexus trait. this is why the average person doesn't recognize it as a bmw. Nothing wrong with feminine styling but its a departure from past design.

The consensus among people that have driven it seems to be that it drives really nice, but is mediocre to look at inside and out

They fucked up the interior too, why you have an angled towards the driver control setup in a sedan? Why are they trying to make all their cars mini 7 series when the actual 7 series has consistently been a pile of hot garbage for more than 20 consecutive years?

Sorry for the horrible pictures but it was getting late and there was a line already surrounding the car.

Considering that the 3 is supposed to be targeted to younger buyers, I agree. Ye older folk can certainly move to "higher trim" or larger, more reserved cars...probably as BMW intended.

The fact that you think this Is a masterpiece, raises huge questions about your judgment

Calm down people! Wait until you see it in flesh and not on pictures.

And if I had to decide here, I wouldn't hesitate for a second - the inflated C-Class just doesn't look elegant or sporty or whatever.

Especially as the quality probably finally got better with the G20.

They're both ugly as sin, but the Merc has a solid interior, and it least it looks like a Merc. The G20 looks forced, and without the grill, doesnt look like a Bimmer. People behind it are going to think it's an accord

I think there are a lot of other cars on the streets that deserve the description "ugly as sin".

Did you ever sit in a W205? "Solid" is not the term I would use for that plastic chrome bling bling interior.

The rear got confusably, true, but the front looks quite a bit like a BMW and the side truly is as 3 series as it can be.

The front is too chunky with the chrome and the headlights look like ebay specials. It looks like a knock off grill and headlights

i disagree. it looks MORE like the RC tail lights at night when only the L shaped light bar is lit up. just look at this

I mean dont get me wrong, I think Mercedes are the single most overrated, illogically respected, and poorly constructed cars on the road. But visually, the interior of the C looks better than the Shit20
