They just need to bring back the ribbed cladding for the full effect.

I never liked those hood scoops.

Those pictures make it look way too high off the ground.. The direct comparison pics to the racecar even make it look higher.. The rear tires look so painfully skinny too..

The rear wing's brakelight looks like a cheap afterthough.

Sorry, I find nothing appealing about this car.

Anyone else notice the antenna at the front of the roofline as opposed to the rear where you usually see it on cars? I guess its relative where its located, but at the front of the roofline it reminds me of a sharks fin and looks a bit... rebellious.

I don't mind the front end, but the wing... No way...

Here's the pics I took of it at the NY Auto Show last April.





Personally, aside from the need to tone down the spoiler, I think it looks great. The taillights have a decidedly evil look when lit up.

I'd like to see that color on the concept available on other cars. I know it's not noticible in the pics really, but it was a fantastic graphite metallic gray.

unless I'm imagining things, those pics right there look like its a bit lower compared to the pics in the top of this thread..

It actually looks okay in those pics.. Maybe cause of the lighting and those ugly hood scoops are kinda hidden in the reflection... and hte wheels.. and it looks a bit lower?

I actually like it a lot

I think it will have some real presence on the street....I'd like to see one in person.


edit...the wheels on the original post are TERRIBLE. Put the 5-spoke concept wheels on it, and it looks a ton better.
