That does look very nice, just not sure about the crystal interior.
I don't like the floating console, it doesn't look right to me.

Is that a two or four door ? I think I can make out a faint shutline in front of the rear wheel arch but can't see any handles.

I think on that concept they're both opening from the middle. Looks good, certainly a dash of XF in there!

<monty python> It's only a model </monty python>

If the finished car looks half as good as that I want one.

Ran it through some photo-editing software although I got the compression a bit high...but you can see the lines better. Not sure about the suicide doors though...?

Nice job

If the suicide doors make it to production I'll be amazed.

In fact, if the finished car looks anything like the "concept" I'll be quite surprised, but I can hope......
