Put some black tape in the middle of the grille, and it could pass for a BMW

Hmmm, not really sure I'm diggin' the front of that or not.  The rest of the car has sort of the same profile of a GS........or perhaps it's just me.

I heard the name and thought, cool, a canine-centric vehicle. 
I was disappointed, no doggy bed option and Tater still can't reach the pedals.  ???

Generally some good ideas but I thought Schreyer would have been more... restrained.

K-9 - yes gone to the dogs and if built will find a very limited market. Not sure why they feel they need to bring it out especially with their boss (Hyundai)  flogging the Genesis and Equus.

^ I don't mind that profile shot of it at all.  And I agree that it looks a little bimmerish.  I was thinking Lexus GS when I saw the front profile pic earlier in this thread.....but definitely more BMW now.

Btw, this whole trend lately of the fake side vents really has to go.
