Seeing the car first time and thinking that it is ugly was the truth at the moment you have percieved it. After that you've been thinking along the following line: ... "well, at least the interior is looking good, hopefully it drives well to... it looks nice from the side view (exterior)... not bad at 3/4... The car is awesome... too bad the front and rear are not..." Each time you tell yourself you like this or that about anything really - the perception of the subject under concidiration changes. It can go in both directions. Just look whats done on tv all the time. You will never think that something is scary unless you hear and think about it a good few times. Then... you start percive something as scary or frightening. Big ass brainwash basically - nothing else. As of the new 2012 BMW 1 Series, we are chaning our own 'initial perception' (too much of a BMW fans) and the car indeed starts to look better and better each time we look at it. One can really bring oneself from the feeling that the car is fugly to the feeling that it is gorgeous. Nothing have changed really, but... now you got a different truth to live with. p.s. I've just told you in short a secret of how one can indeed 'change the world'... shhhh... don't tell anybody |

On the other hand, excellent commercial. Very intuitive and creative.

"A distinctive diffusor insert in Dark Shadow metallic on the rear underlines the sporting claim. Included among the total of two non-metallic and four metallic paint finishes is Estoril Blue metallic, an option exclusively available with the M Sport package. M light-alloy wheels in 17-inch – or at a surcharge in 18-inch – further reinforce the athletic appearance of the BMW 1 Series. Foglights and the Individual high-gloss Shadow Line round off the M Sport package"
Estoril blue! That's AWESOME!

.. seriously? I cannot believe this. This is BMWs ugliest creation to date. And i'm usually one to try to approach things from multiple angles and try to appreciate BMWs typical forward-looking designs. But this is not timeless. It's awful..

What kind of a commercial is that? I don´t want to hear anything about two brothers and their cars. I hate how all cars are pushed and marketed with some sort of lifestyle in mind. I buy a car to drive, not a lifestyle to sell and show of to others. I know, from a marketing standpoint it´s the right approach, but my god, it gets on my nerves.
I wanna know how fast it goes, how good it handles and not which brother gets laid more often and who works out where. |

didn't get a favourable response across the pond either
http://www.autocar.co.uk/forums/t/18848.aspx why do we have to put up with car designs that grow on us? you think a ferrari owner has to say, "yeah i know you hate it now, but wait till you see it a few times, you'll like it then" growing on you just means you are getting used to the looks NOT that you like them i got used to the E60's looks still hate it still think the older 6 series trunk looks like a cancerous growth i can't imagine picasso or davinci saying how their works might suck now, but after a few sightings will grow on you

I think a drop/wheels/tint can save the profile and rear.
But those headlights...
