I'm kind of the same, understated and subtle but still strong is great and usually ages well, while the fancier it gets the faster it seems to go to the side.
This new one I think they actually got pretty close, the body shape and style itself I think is great, I like the hood creases and the nose down to the plate, I like the sides (but not the air vent), and the back end is great, very BMW tail lights. Where it really fails IMO is the bottom half of the car at the front and back, the intakes with all the angles (and gaping), and especially the rear with the exhaust almost look like they were designed by a completely different guy/team. Looks like it belongs on a Viper or muscle car remake or something, something I'd expect to find on a Camaro.
If they could make those parts of the car more understated, I'd be on board I think.
