It's gorgeous! I never really liked current coupe, but this one is a marvel...

The best features are:

1. Headlights - that was the first thing that stroke me when I saw pics. Probably the most beautiful I ever seen!
2. Better proportions? It seems to me they streched the hood. The whole shape works so much better than current one, much more polished, smooth, flowing and elegant.
3. The interior - fantastic is too bland of a word here. Love every bit!

Futuristic, you say? Wake up, it's 2006 already!!! We ARE in the future! For how long do you want those ugly ancient gauges and retro dashboards? Honda had the guts to put that spacy interior in their cheap mainstream car, why Infiniti shouldn't do the same with their upscale model? Time to move on, guys.

4. I have no probs with rear-end, although I admit it could be wider.

Dislikes, few but minor:
1. Front crease is a bit disturbing indeed. Although it may grow on me.
2. Side-mirrors. Cars without them do look like a human without arms. Hopefully, normal mirrors replace cameras.

That's it. The sharpest looking coupe in sub 100k segment, IMHO.

 

I don't know guys..but if the 2008 M3 looks like this, it would be a tough choice between the two!

 

It won't be once you see the sticker prices on them both.

 

Do you have a pic of the 08' gtr?

 

It's all relative now, though! Spending 65+k on a V8 400HP BMW M3 makes sense now. But i couldn't rationalize spending this amount on the current V6 333HP M3 which runs about 50K in alot of cases! The leap that BMW will be taking with regards to more HP and displacement for the M3 model makes paying the high msrp less painful! More bang for your buck, so to speak.

 

That M3 is sweet!! Based on just looks alone, I would still rather have the Coupe Concept. The M3 is extremely nice, but it just doesn't have the same "sexiness" to it that the Coupe Concept has......just my .02 cents though.

 

Anyone know what the sticker price would be for the new coupe?

 

That's a photochop. But yea, it'll probably look something like that.

 

^ Thats not it...do a search and youll see what the M3 is going to really look like.

 

This is what I found.......

Looks like the same car to me, albeit under some wraps in the pic here.

 

If you want a good desktop pic.....
The hi-res version of this pic has a bad link;
