at first i thought it was an ugly photoshop but after watching the video it got even uglier.... the worst thing is that now instead of changing out 4 tires, now you would have to change out 6. and its not just tires, think about the suspensions. OMG!! things just got more complicated! the owner or who ever is going to work on that car is going to commit suicide one day...

it would be a nice looking car with out the extra two wheels. i think the designers are a bunch of stoners...

"dude we should totally design a car that has 5....NO 6 wheels! yeah that would be so rad......dude........ .. . . ."

It's not ugly so much as it's VERY unlike what you're used to. Sort of like why this is so strange as well:
