Is that a complaint?
Edit:
Damn that looks good. Such a clean looking car, especially that nose. Best looking nose by far

Not at all. It just looks like you can peel it.
Found this picture of Magnussen and Palmer at the (re-)launch:

Is that the 2016 car?

Nope, sadly I got a bit to far ahead of myself thinking that the front of it looked so good.

I didn't think it was, that back end looked way too compact.

I'm intrigued by the asymmetric shape of the engine cover outlet.

It looks very a-peel-ing...

That's funny that they've basically just inverted the colours of the testing livery 
A bit plain, but I'm not complaining - a bright and colourful car, yay!

The transition from yellow to black just looks weird. The angles are at odds with the shapes of the car.

The piano black looked miles better. This looks like a rattle can special RC shell.
Also, what's going on with the shade of yellow on the render/press photo? It's far lighter than the one in the reveal photos. Neither look particularly appealing in my eyes.

It's a Renault. It should be yellow. No one complains when Ferrari rolls out yet another red F1 car.

It's not black/silver/gray, so it's all good. We need some more color on the grid.

I was wondering why they got rid of the red accents from the RS01 livery
But I guess it would be the spitting image of this car

I guess they replaced the red with gold.
Big improvement IMHO...
The more I look at this, the more I like it. Can't remember the last time I thought an F1 car was so purdy.

I think Renault showed two different cars in their photos today, the studio shots [I'm almost certain] are their 2016 race car, the car launch event car looks really short as if it's from the pre-refueling era, the front of the sidepods match the 2008 car so I presume that's what they showed the media (with heavily modified bodywork of course).

It could also just be a re-skinned formula Renault.

I thought the same at first but the dimensions don't match up, a 2008 car makes sense since all the teams have these old cars lying around doing nothing.

Hey what's with a the thread title changing!! Car launches are serious business, this is no place for jokes. You've just seriously upset a lot of people PM 
Edit:
Abitbole says the Renault livery may change throughout the year, perhaps as soon as Bahrain.
