I liked it a lot. I really did. Then one part of one of the pictures caught my eye and I died a little inside.

Here's the picture, can you guess what it was that put me off?

Like every 2 door out in the market which has borrowed something from everyone .... always been the way and near on impossible not to. Even the Bugatti reminds of some other cars. From 4 wheels at the front, lights at the front, 2 seats behind a steering wheel, hard not to do something that is 100% original. It does look fresh, fast and Jaguarish.

The thing I like about it compared to some of the other efforts from them in the past ...... I look at the rear and for some reason it screams E type .... modestly, most probably because of the slant? but it is there ..... very cleverly done.
Are the rear wheel arches and roofline of the x16 car supposed to be styled on a 997 type Porsche?

Ian Callum has designed some nice cars, but the more I look at this X16, I say WTF was he thinking?

I have to disagree with every 2 door on the market looks the same, the 458 Italia or the newer Lambo's have unique and stunning style - nothing else looks like them.

Well care to explain why?
What is wrong with a KERS style hybrid?
