I like it a fair bit. Despite already being excited for the film, this is a lot closer to the original than I feared they'd go, and closer than they really needed to go to get their audience. The saucer is great, pretty much perfect, the deflector is actually a dish, and the nacelles, while shaped differently, even have rounded caps over spinning blades, which only the TOS Enterprise has had so far. I think maybe the engineering hull tapers too much, but it might not be an issue if the nacelles are long enough to balance it out. We need a side view to see the proportions.
 
I love it. At first I was thrown by the proportions but I think that's a combination of the angle and slight change in style. It's a faithful update to the original design, I don't find it 'retro' at all, but it's definitely, and positively, a 2008 interpretation of the ship- and it is recognisably constitution class.
 
I don't know....

I don't outright hate it, that much is certain.

I don't outright love it as well.

I feel like I did after seeing the TMP enterprise.

A serious wuhduhfuh moment.

I don't mind redesigning the ship, I don't mind rebooting Trek... but that said, I don't like the looks of this ship.

It might grow on me though.
 
Now I am over my initial shock I have voted yes.

It's different from what I expected and I am going to assume that as I am an old TOS fan that this can only be good for the future of Trek.
 
I'm kinda torn... It's not as beautiful as the refit or the A, but I'm curious to see some different angles and to see it in action. I believe it may grow on me.
