Thought the same thing at first. Pictures make it look strange. However, I saw my first one in the city the other day, and the thing has so much presence. It's a big car and it looks very powerful, something the last gen didn't convey. I feel as though blacked out pillar made the car look longer and lower than it actually is. It kind of creates a separation and the visual lack of a c pillar creates these unique sculptured surfaces. Eliminating the ordinary c pillar makes your eyes focus on the the gorgeous curves of the wheel arches and the dramatic rear trunk area. |
