If you don't like those then you will hate the other Chrysler knock-off that they have. That is right... Dubai pretty much has three Chrysler buildings. The twins are more original though because the crown is made of hollow arches instead of a solid mass. The Churchill Residency is just a copy worthy of vegas or Disneyworld.

But back to this building... While I think it would be an interesting space, I just cant get behind these "roofed" skyscrapers. They have one in Japan I believe and were planning one in Philadelphia, although that one had a supertower attached to it.
Edit: It looks far worse in person than in the illustration.
