I'm mixed about it.

The headlights look too small for the entire body, making it look heavier than it should. I also think many of the styling details are overwrought. In isolation they make sense, but it's a lot going on all at once.

I think they executed the split character line a little poorly. It looks a little cheap, not very dynamic, and I think they should've increased the length and curvature of the rear line. That little brake duct beneath the rear door also looks like an afterthought and creates more unnecessary clutter. In regards to the silhouette, I think the roofline is fine, but the hood shape is terrible. It might be more aerodynamic to have an almost Civic-like continuous arc from hood to A-pillar to windshield, but it shortens the hood too much imo. I think it should've planed out before it reached the A-pillar.

I'm digging the head-on front/rear views though.
