In my eyes, its beautiful - as a piece of art, that is. I wouldn't be caught dead actually driving it, though! 
This style is definitely meant for the heads that understand the graf aesthetic. For those that don't know, HAZE is an old-school graffiti artist-turned-graphic-designer. He is known for that clean, fat-outline style. He also designed logos for EPMD, Cold Chillin, Delicious Vinyl, Tommy Boy, etc.
Another graffiti legend, FUTRA 2000, did an all black, super stealthy black xA. Really minimalist. If you guys listen to DJ Shadow, Mo'Wax, etc., you'll probably know his sleeve/ cover art. He also does/did a lot with BAPE clothing in Japan. Futura can sell t-shirts for $200 in Japan - they'll buy anyhting Futura.

Banksy you mean.
The more i look at this, the more i like it. Reminds me of maori tattoos...the lines work well with the rest of the car and reinforces it rather than ignores it like that god awful greddy logo across the side like they do in sema. The wheels are a bit too much tho.
I'd never ride it of course... I prefer to blend in. I'll jock this over 5axis anyday however. Its great to see there's a different way to style a car other than the typical ricer style that everyone (even rice haters) jock. And I'm still liking this the more i stare at it. Dont ____ on it just cos you can't understand it.
