A 4 door, as everybody expected.
It's got the unfortunate gait of a Panamera, but somehow, it looks okay as on a Bugatti.
In anycase, look at the interior!

Interior definitely looks unique and a nice place to be; NICE, not too much clutter like some of the luxo-sleds out now. Exterior is just tacky and ugly. Looks like they borrowed/shared the headlights with the new Bentley.

Makes perfect sense, considering that rumors of Bentley/Bugatti sharing costs for a new range of 4 doors been around for at least 4 years.

^Certainly not the way it looks? Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when seeing the picture nth posted was this:

Watch the Simpsons? Remember Funzo?
EDIT: that looks like four exhaust pipes in the back...one each side...tacky.

I just want to see what the headlights look like when on, nothing more.

I think it has something to do with the Anime-esque headlight treatment and rather cartoonish proportions. Added to that, the lower intakes in the front end make the car look a bit like a catfish or like it has whiskers or something...

I've been perplexed by the Galiibeir a bit, and had a little more time to think about it.
What rubs me wrong about the style is that it tries to be a Veyron while simultaneously using the under pinnings of the next Bentley sedan/ limo.
What that causes is a conflict in design language; which interrupts the flow. Bentley are cars that appear to be chiseled from a solid piece of granite, not unlike a Rolls. Trying to round the edges with long flowing lines like found on the Veyron makes no sense. Mixing compound curves with hard edges can work, and work really well; but there really isn't much that combines the two elements here. The Galibier simply wraps around the Bentley shell.
The interior is... perhaps game changing...
