Re: What a horrible paint job

"That paint job is a standard issue for most prototype cars (it's used in one form or other by BMW, JLR, etc) - I understand it's designed to make it difficult to perceive the actual outline of the car, thereby providing some sort of protection for the outside design/appearance."

Well then it fails miserably and they should try an alternate plan. I can quite easily discern everything from the character crease between the bonnet edge and the forward bumper, to the character line of the side panels.

If that was their best attempt, why bother?

Otherwise it is a typically modern, rather stubby package with a bit of Fiat 500 in it, character crease below the bonnet notwithstanding; I think most would give a yawn at its unadventurous design. At least its not a Prius, though.
