Na, it's the wheels that I like the most. They look like they're carved out of a huge lump of alloy.

I think they look like 5 ice lollies doing nothing but adding to unsprung weight, horrid, without those they wuldn't have been too bad, a modern take on teledials

I spotted a very fast unmarked traffic police car on the M6 last weekend: A fully blinged-up black Subaru WRX STI saloon. The row of what looked like CB radio antennas across the back gave it away as something unusual as it flew past me in the outside lane … then I passed it pulled over with a victim/offender on the hard shoulder a few minutes afterwards and figured it out.

Have to say, the flashing blue lights behind its radiator grille really finished off the look beautifully. It was a much better modern Knight Rider than the silly Mustang the Americans have used in their new TV movie.

Remember that this is only a computer graphic and not a real car.
