Original K11 had some unique and nice looks in general, no shame in working with what they had.
Only problem with any new platform is they all add to much weight and over size the wheelbase, result is sloppy handling from the start and needing twice as much power to get the same performance.
New Fiat 500 is a classic example, for anyone who thinks it's looks awesome, and I generally agree with that, take a real close look at the specs, it's heavy and slow, with very average fuel consumption, kind of sad really.
