The problem lies in the fact that to cut the roof line they had to cut far back on the body with the longer front end look because of this it throws things off.
If they had after cutting the roof line extended forward the back surface plane closer up to the back of the front seats it would look much better. Much of the proportional issue is right here in what I am citing and you would have to blind to not see.
To sum it up . The rear is too short, the front is too long and the passenger cavity is too big proportionally, to everything else.
They took a decent looking Sports car and bastardized it. The MRS is a much better looking Vert because its proportions are correct. Same goes for the Miata.
Hell While I am at it even the S2K's proportions are off though not quite as dramatically as this.
Look at the Mustang from the 60's if want to see a vert that has 4 seats and is proportionally correct.
Again this is my opinion which I am entitled too. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. YMMV
