Nice car...sadly, I think a 5th gen will look more like this than a 3rd or 4th. I guess you can tell which side of the fence I'm on

But yes...clean, aggressive lines that have some swoop to them will go a long way to helping me swallow the retro pill.

Something about those pics of the interior and under-hood makes me think they're fake. Is it just me?

I think the nicest part of that car was the interior, which I must say is beautiful.

And I think it means something like a "presence or power" when youre not referring to the drink.

Its definetly a nice car, and very well done. I just really don't want to see a 5th gen look like this.

Thrice.
If it had to be retro, Kris's is the way I would want it to go. I still think the body on his concept was the best I have ever seen. Clean aggresive lines that flow really well with the car. All I was hoping for was a more modern face and rear and I'd be first to the dealer with my money.

So, umm, what good does the roll bar/cage do if it doesn't go higher than the seat back?

I think some have rationalized it as more of a chassis stiffener / roll bar....it ain't even welded?!?! SEMA car for sure.
