Butt-ugly. . I can actually live with the horrible back end compared to that nose. It is all tucked in like someone soured it with vinegar, and like the RDX it has no base ... it just tapers back down from a rather high bumper point, and what is that big empty black zone abouve the front bumper and below the grill? A toothless smile? . Plus the front overhang is too long. Makes it look like they used a Honda fit wheelbase and cut costs by not lengthening it. Overal poor design job.
