The hood looks like a vaGINA when it opens, so I can see where the name comes from.

taillights are pretty sweet too.  
the whole thing looks very organic when compared to a regular car.  
they could make that skin in sections instead of covering the whole car too, possibilities are endless.

i think it will do fine in crash tests… the skin is just like the paint/body panels, as long as the frame/safety panels are there it will be fine. i think thats absolutely amazing… i really like it.

definitely changes perceptions, doesn’t it?  
I’m pretty used to thinking about cars as something rigid, hard, and static.  
this is bmw’s yin to everyone else’s automotive yang

now go ahead and count all the subtexts that go with that statement ;D

Mother of God . . . fascinating. I agree with Vlad about the headlight - like an opening eye. It gives the car a life-form aspect. The interior is minimalist chic too.

I was wondering when people would realize that the skin of the car doesnt need to be metal, or fiberglass, or anything strong at all.

Id like to see one get hit by an F350 and have the driver live to tell about it. Chances are that wont happen.
