You can't say all BMWs look alike anymore
Remember, BMW is trying to differentiate their cars. You can't say all BMWs look alike anymore.
I was never a fan of those ricey clear & metallic tail lights. It just makes the IS200 and 3 series Compact fugly and tacky.
As for the front, it takes alot getting used to. I initially didn't like it either. It reminds me of the VW Polo or Lupo (can't remember which). Nothing exciting, and not worthy of the BMW badge.
I kinda like the boot, though some may think of it as a 3 series Coupe with the end chopped off. It does end abruptly. As long as the back is concaved in like the normal 3s, I like it. The shape of the rear lights are appropriate IMHO. I don't know if having L-shaped rear lights would have worked.
In general, if you're into hatches (which I'm not), then I think you'll like it.
