There are some things i like, and some things i don't like the look of - but it's always hard to tell from pictures. Don't think you can say a bare chassis looks ugly, need to wait for a shell to say that really.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the B4 geometry is nestling in there somewhere as well but let's be honest, on the whole for most people it works, so why not.

The thing i find very interesting is the choice of assembly/materials. Although there is a definite up turn in 1/10 off rd, there still seems to be a bit of a resistance (and oddly from the bigger companies) to invest in mould tooling. Aero and X-fact are relatively small companies compared to the might of Tamiya and HPI and so you'd maybe expect their choice's to be the direct opposite to what they have been. It's all good though.
