Giant is like Shimano, and folks don't turn their nose up at Dura-Ace just because Tourney exists... and TCRs have been amongst the best bikes in the world ever since they were a thing.
And folks don't turn their nose up at Dura-Ace just because you can pay twice as much for Super Ultra Mega Record, either - the gear speaks for itself. If you want the best bike you can afford, it's probably a Giant.
TLDR: of course a Giant can look great, although this is probably the first truly pretty TCR since they had threaded BBs and 9/8” steerers. And that paint is probably some of their best work yet.
