I googlefied it and found this:
Awkward, contrived, not graceful at all. Not nearly as natural as Callaway's new one.

What? Did an 89 civic run slap into the ass end of a vette with the parking brake set? That just looks kinda painful.

Guess Appleseed and I are in the minority.

I don't like it at all.

You need to learn your memes. Google "Lonely Island--Jizz In My Pants" and you'll get the reference. bgkast is complimenting in a big way.

I agree with him. This car looks better than the standard version IMHO. Like a prettier Ferrari FF.

I would be really interested to see the differences in air flow between the two. The longer and shallower roof angle on the shooting brake, combined with the slope of the rear glass should give it a much less turbulant profile through the air

When you see the 3/4 view it's not so well done:

I like the idea and the side view looks good, but as soon as you turn it a little, er, um, not so much.

It kinda looks to me like a Bette and Crz did it and I kinda like it..... The yellow c5 could have been decent if they woul have taken some time to make curves on the rear hatch to match the fenders in my opinion, but yeah that just looks bad as it is. Should have made it look more like the solstice coupe.

I was going to comment that it looks like they used the rear hatch from an EG ('92-'95) Civic.
