There has been one car fully revealed? I think not.

Did I say there was one care fully revealed, don't really see the reason for the word manipulation when I spelled it out for you. I said teasers which should indicate that the looks some people are seeing right now aren't to their liking and there are some detailed teasers out there as I said you cane easily see in the more general thread on this subject.

The whole purpose of VGT is concept cars, not actual production cars.

Ah, so you havent seen more than this one fully revealed. So you don't know exactly what they look like. Just as everyone else who likes to judge these 'vision' concepts without even having full vision of them. Like I said, basing the idea these are all "fugly" etc. off of teasers is shallow prejudgement.
...I don't really consider that a car

I like the rear but I don't like the front at all, and I only like the back when the wing is up.
Well I didn't use that context for one, so if you're going to lump me in with people at least use my wording. Once again -since you try so hard to prove yourself- this is all subjective and people have a right to judge things from what they see even if it isn't a full reveal, there is enough of some of the vision cars (e.g. BMW) that people can make a decision and say they don't like the direction it is going. I never claimed I saw these cars in full detail, and for you to sit there and violate AUP over a long exchange we had last time isn't going to get you very far, quit with the chip on your shoulder as if I'm looking to combat you.
I don't like this one and the direction of the ones that everyone can see on the main GTV thread, it's not like they're showing hubcaps are just fog lamps, there is quite a bit to go on. Also some of us, like me aren't judging the cars because your beloved PD commissioned them, rather I do this on the autos sub-forum all the time when new cars start being revealed. Maybe in time this car will grow on me, but for now it's not that great.
Also how are they shallow, because they see angles or enough give away to know that they don't like it?
This for example I don't like the direction because it reminds me quite a bit of the Citroen, but I'm sure you'll cry fowl on me not like this one.

Ah another was added it looks like to the images, I think what turns me away is that the front sort of reminds me of a Taurus/Fusion combo glorified with a Merc badge.

I'm not sure if we really need your silly complaint post on someone not liking Citroen GT and this Mercedes spaceship. As long as it's in the AUP I'm free to dislike whatever I want. Get over it kid.

Wow, just wow!
The curves and the long front makes me think of the 1920's. Very bold!

I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I was hoping for a bit more daring stuff for VGT (like the car in the quoted post). Since the cars are created in a virtual environment where pretty much everything is possible even though it might not yet be possible in real life I thought companies would take advantage of that and create some really visionary concepts.
I was hoping for stuff more along the lines of the Nike car (they seem to have something nice for VGT though) and the Red Bull car (both not car companies...hmmm....).
A new yet rather conservative body design based on old technology is not what I'd call 'visionary'.
Don't get me wrong: I kinda like the car and I don't want to complain about getting 20ish concept cars over the first year, but I kinda hoped for more extreme stuff.

These new pictures are stunning. The wheels look a lot better in a three-quarter view too. It looks absolutely amazing - So powerful and purposeful and it looks like it has a million HP.
Fantastic job by Mercedes-Benz and AMG.

Very beautiful car, this new Benz for GT6. Only the rims seems to me too big...

"The angled headlamps, with their colour scheme and determined look, convey a sense of sportiness and readiness to leap forward. This impression is reinforced by the bonnet with its expressive forms and motorsport details, such as the release catches on the bonnet and the fuel cap, for example."
I haven't read such high level design language bs in a long time since my graphics/art/design classes in high school
You can only imagine what the Top Gear presenters will say about these cars if they ever get mentioned in that show.

Yeah, I hope the bulk of DLC doesn't consist of crappy concept cars like the Merc above. I want to see real life production cars, not visions of the future which may or may not come into existence (just look at the Jaguar C-X75)
