Genuinely don’t see the resemblance, help me out here. I assume the lights are the same as on the i5 with a chrome strip in the middle

The Accord taillights will kill anything else done to the rear of this design.

That’s because you didn’t compare it to the TRD.

The typical commentators to any new M car these days…
Now:
“They are killing the brand!”
“It looks awful!”
“That’s it, I’m taking my business to [insert another brand here]”

The same complainers 3 months from now:
“It’s really grown on me!”
“I’m first on my dealers list for an allocation!”
“Anyone know where I can get an allocation!?”

I feel like this has been the typical response life cycle for every new M car from the G80/82 to the G87!

Not a fan of the high trapezoid black appliqué of the diffuser section. The middle looks like a Brazilian bikini on a woman almost. Doesn’t look super great and will look horrible when dirty.

The F90 started to look dated many months ago. The F80 started to look dated after folks came around on the G80 grill. Now, the F80 grill looks small and air-flow restrictive. The default enthusiast reaction to new models is usually negative and reflects the emotional and financial investment in their current choice. There is always something newer and better around the corner, it doesn't have to always be a threat. I do appreciate design experts that callout aspects of the new language that are somewhat objective from a academic standpoint.

Looks like they could fit a fog light in the gap to make it look more warranted. Otherwise I have no clue what to think.

Hah really? I didn’t even know what the rear of the Camry looked like until your post and I am with all the other posters…

The split diffuser is reminiscent of the Ferrari F12 but not in a good way

Sorry, but thats appalling. Everyone who was waiting for a new M5 should go grab an M3 CS instead before its too late.

Looks very GTR-esq. and by the bulk of the body, it seems like it’s going to look a bit more aggressive than the G60. I think it’s going to be 🔥
