The front bumper is covered in creases and slashes, and the surfacing of the sides is made up of really interesting angular lines on the flanks. In contrast, the rear is pretty simple, with high-up taillights that appear merged with the rear glass. And, of course, the roof has a "floating" design and can be had with a two-tone finish.
