What about the steel makes you think that?

^ My guess is something about "not fitting with the character of existing architecture" or some such nonsense.

Re: New Building Proposed for Newbury Street
You could be right. I am not understanding the logic of the canted steel unless the second floor is not mean to engage at the facade ...plus ... at the moment .. the bay windows as rendered are not framed out.
I will hold judgement. I am just hoping it approaches the look in the rendering. It is nice and subtle.

Re: New Building Proposed for Newbury Street
I was thinking the exact same thing. There is a forward slanting part to the framing that i can not figure out where it fits in with the rendering. It also seems like they have built out as far as they can, it doesn't look like bay windows can be added onto this structure as it already sits.

Is it me, or is Six New the only thing slower than the Exeter @ Prudential?

Re: New Building Proposed for Newbury Street
I don't know. The 356 was pretty much just a sport version of the Beetle. VW is just making the new Beetle more 356 like, and ought to go all the way with it and revise the front end. But, of course, the new Beetle's engine is at the front and no nasty swing axles loading up on you...

Re: New Building Proposed for Newbury Street
Good point. I actually had to go check on its release date to realize it has been out for almost two years by now (I was thinking it came out this past fall). I've seen a handful or two, but you're right...they really aren't moving off the lots.

The saddest part of the situation is that its probably being seriously outsold by the ratmobile Kia parked in front of it. Am I the only one who wants to gouge his eyes and ear drums out when that commercial comes on?

Re: New Building Proposed for Newbury Street
Well since the original beetle was designed by Porsche (it's the Porsche Type 60 I believe) it's appropriate. They also bought their former parent company last year. The lines actually remind me more of a VW fastback than anything though
