Interesting how so many fishmouth photos are carefully set up to DE-emphasize that feature.

Default Big changes need to be phased in slowly. Watch a few DTM races, and the Stasis A4 and....

... I guarantee you that the koala snoot will start to look good to you. It's an acquired taste. My beef with it has nothing to do with aesthetics. Rather, it seems like a completely unnecessary element from a functional standpoint. Other than turbine-powered machines, nothing needs that kind of airflow.

I think it looks great, but I've liked it since the beginning once I saw it in person.

Default You think that photo deemphasizes it? Um, it's the main focus of the picture.

Centered vertically and assuming the entire lower half is a pretty important part of a visual image.

Maybe you just don't like it and so your subconcious is skewing your vision.
