8.5/10 from me :)
luci203 June 21st, 2008, 05:06 PM Chrysler Building bad copy... Twice! :bash:
Only 7 from me.
MDguy June 21st, 2008, 05:23 PM Extremely poor twin copy of the Chrysler Building. Not attractive in the least for me 4.5/10
ChrisZwolle June 21st, 2008, 05:57 PM Ugly ripoff. Only a 6/10 for me.
Wu-Gambino June 22nd, 2008, 05:27 PM 0/10
Terrible, absolutely terrible. A blatant Chrysler ripoff with a facade that belongs in a suburban office park. This is an insult to skyscrapers.
Pengui June 29th, 2008, 07:50 AM Sorry but no. In principle I have no problem with the Chrysler inspiration, but the whole skeletal crown thing is really looking terrible. Facade is ugly too. It retains the overall Chrysler silhouette seen from a distance, which is good, but again it's kind of ruined by the fact it's only a frame.
4/10.

Exactly my words. And the same 4/10 for me.
MasonicStage™ July 14th, 2008, 12:40 PM ugly as hell. 2/10 looks like some cheap copy of Chrysler building.

great comment! :applause:
Guaporense July 18th, 2008, 09:20 PM 2.5/10, this building is a joke.
xX60Xx July 19th, 2008, 05:07 AM I like Dubai and i love their projects.
But when any city does this its an insult!!!!
and i can't believe how this project got approved in first place.
I mean its not Dubailand!! that's undrestandebal (in a good way) and i like that project.
1/10 for the height plus being twins.
Mateus_ July 22nd, 2008, 10:51 PM 2/10, a bad fake!

6/10
ZZ-II September 21st, 2008, 05:08 PM it is no copy of any building on this world!
henry hill September 21st, 2008, 05:10 PM I understand, but I can see similarly to the predecessor that however references to the building of the Chrysler are strong. So there is my impression.

SacOnTheRise October 28th, 2008, 09:12 AM 3 or less, its just a copy of the Chrystler building. BOOOO TO COPYING!!!
RafflesCity November 1st, 2008, 05:07 AM I honestly can't believe that this was actually built! The obvious mimicking of the Chrysler is painful.
Usually most copies tend to be more subtle to gain acceptance.
briker November 3rd, 2008, 06:27 AM :0
Astralis November 8th, 2008, 01:07 PM Well it's clearly Chrysler look-alike but not exactly the same... if you ask me the building could have been designed in much better way than this so it gets 7/10 from me.
