The AMG-GT. It's nice, but I think they could have done better with the design of the back end. Same with the new S-Class coupe.

The Mclaren 650s literally looks like some guy took 2 minutes to photoshop the two other cars Mclaren makes and came up with another dumb name.

The 650S wasn't really meant to be an all-new model, but more of an updated 12C. McLaren took pretty much everything about the 12C that wasn't so great, corrected it, and made the 650S based on that. I agree that the name leaves some to be desired, but I really do like the looks of it. If we're talking about cars that could've been done better, then that would technically be the 12C, and the 650S is the one that was... done better.

I actually like the back end better than the front. I don't really like the angle of the headlights; I think it makes it look less classy. I do like the look of the car overall, though.

Except I really don't like the name. It'll be so confusing for non-car people.

LaFerrari. The name along with the design could've been much better.
Huracan. Looks so cheap and poorly executed.
458. Mass produced along with a boring body style.
Ghost. Mass produced and cheap interior compared to a Mulsanne. The rear doesn't look the best.
new Flying Spur. The body style really isn't attractive. Just looks boring.
Porsche Macan. It looks so compact, the rear and front annoy me.
M4. Only better if it had a V8. Love the looks and how it drives.

BMW went back to the I6 for the current M3/M4 because people complained after they went to the V8.

In my opinion the problem with the current M3/M4 is that its not that different in comparison to the 335/435 M sport. It doesn't differentiate itself enough and essentially the only difference between the two is the number of exhaust pipes and body kit. They both share the same engine except one has more power and playing exhaust tunes through the speakers isn't helping either, that's just my personal opinion though.

Don't forget that the M also has a differently tuned engine, the transmissions may be different (I don't know), different suspension, and various other performance bits that are different.

I'm also pretty sure they had the matter of fuel economy and emissions regulations to worry about as well.

I'm pretty darn sure all BMW's with 3s or 4s in the name are the exact same car.

Well, in a way they are. They all share the same basic architecture, as do all 1s, 2s, 5s, 6s, and 7s. However, the engines, bodykits, performance enhancing parts, price, and bodystyles all vary between them typically.

That's because the 4-Series is basically a 3-Series Coupe. Apart from the 4-Series Gran Coupe, which has 4 doors again, so it's really a 3-Series again with a different name.

I'm aware the engine is tuned differently however it is still the exact same block, the S55 developed from the N55 engines are fantastic motors, the N55 in the E9X's when remapped could push 430HP and easily defeat their M3 counterparts, that said I would still pick a NA V8 over that. I'm also aware they did what they did for emission purposes and it sucks cause I feel like M cars are losing their uniqueness, and this applies to the M5/M6's too. Obviously this is only my personal opinion but if I were to spend another 25k more for an M over a 335i/435i M Sport car I would want it to stand out further more.
