One word: Overdesign

And that seems to be the current theme in the automotive design industry at the moment. No matter how many great ideas you have they might not all go together, it's very important to know when a design needs to lose a few elements. obviously this conversation was never had in the McL design room. If the roofline ended a bit further back, the rear didn't slope down at the end, and the front didn't have those vents in the hood, it might be acceptable. Also am I the only one who notices a little Koeniggseg in the proportions and shapes? As it happens often in design, it could've been great, but it wasn't.
