OK, this is about as "close" as any of the pics you guys posted to the prototype I saw. But... and this is a huge but, it looked so much different from the mule there. First, every car at the event was silver. They said it's to remove the effect that colors have on human perception. Second, that mule isn't even good looking. It's almost like that's the proportions of the prototype, but they went and re-did everything else about the styling. That mule doesn't have the huge fender flares, the creases on the body sides and the hood. The rear trunk looks about a rough draft of the prototype, but again the prototype was like it's prettier sister.

No word on when, or if, the prototype will ever make it to production.

Also, the guys who led the group forum said that they "weren't" bmw reps/designers/enginners/etc., but I have my doubts. I think they "might" have been engineers because they didn't talk like no marketing or PR guys to me. I could be wrong but I have my doubts.
