The P5 was a nice looking car. clean, attractive lines... not a fan of the rear lights but everything else looked good. but when you compare it to the 3 (side by side) I can immediately see that the design looks somewhat dated. The 3 hatch (which IS the P5 replacement people) is better in virtually every way. sure, the lines aren't as clean... it has a few awkward angles but that's the price you pay for putting out an aggressive design. Seriously, other than maybe... i don't know, the new Sti... what else on the road looks like a 3 hatch? or... more specifically, an MS3? By contrast, the P5's non offensive looks could have been mistaken (by the untrained eye) for other cars. because I don't want to (further) offend, I won't list the ones that come to mind.
