This is a rip-off of Audi design language. Small glass house proportions, an interplay of (largely) flat surfaces to reflect light at different angles from metalic paint, and incredibly tight panel gaps. The problem is, only Audi seems to know how to do this small glass-house theme and still make it look good, the others are too heavy handed.

Audi is much more subtle - first rule of design: When you emphasise everything, you emphasise nothing.
