it looks far from a kit car. seen one in person, and is mesmerizing.

Meh, I still think I like the GTM FFR better

11/15/2007 10:14:30 AM

the headlights are horrible, looks like a tuscan....and those looked horrible.

the rest is meh.

11/15/2007 10:42:26 AM

The headlights could use a little work, and the tail is a bit busy, but I like it overall. The convertible version reminds me of a Healey 3000 from the side/rear (which is a good thing).

11/15/2007 11:04:44 AM

didn't someone else post this shit months ago? like oep11

11/15/2007 11:30:32 AM

If you defocus a little and picture it going the other way it looks like some futuristic cab-forward design

11/15/2007 12:04:06 PM

Cab-forward?

The new Civic and the old Intrepid are cab forward, as in the cabin extends to the front of the car.

The cabin of this car is in the back on top of the wheels almost.

i.e., driving in reverse.

and yes, wow, you are right. it looks like that lexus from minority report in that case.

11/15/2007 2:07:01 PM

oh well i missed the part about "going the other way." why didn't he just say reverse? go piss yourself.

11/15/2007 2:14:09 PM

i don't know why didn't say drive in reverse.

and is that last sentence directed at me? if so, whytf do you have to be a jerk? wtf is your problem?

i do like the looks of the convertible, but i don't prefer them.

11/15/2007 11:03:05 PM

looks like a morgan aero 8 crossed with a 2cv with a little TVR mixed in
