Just couldn't fit two proper car seats in the rear so went with the larger F80. You could literally see my heart break when I took the baby seats to the dealer to put in the F87 and when it didn't fit...GUTTED. haha

But yes, although the body styling of this new G87 gen looks amazing, the lights (if I am correct to assume that they will use the same lights as with the spy shots) is no bueno.

YET! One caveat though. The 1M really wasn't a looker, but the aggressiveness and the special aura that car gave, made me still want one....I wonder if the G87 will be the same way?
Not sure if you were around when the F87 was at the very beginning phases. The pre-LCI were hardly lookers and the car received the same complaint. The front fangs looked tacky. Oh the seats are crooked.

If history has taught us anything, it's not judge 100% on 2 crooked low res pictures, or cars fully camoed.

And the 1M example you gave is very good as well. People made fun of its Honda Civic tail lights, but somehow they're still regarded as one of the best ever made
