I like it, if it looks this good in real life I think it will be a big hit.

Hate it, hate it, hate it. And I thought the C6 ZR1 and Z06 were simply fantastic looking cars in a menacing way. Way too much fussy detailing. Fender vents (fake?), rear vents above wheels (fake?), hood heat extractor (fake?), overly styled headlights with cliche LED strip, rear lights and spoiler that look lifted from a Camaro, and the proportions just look wrong. The interior looks much better though. I'm sure that it will still go like hell for not much money, but in pictures I really don't like it.

All vents are real and functional. They serve a real purpose.

Transmission is a 7 speed 3-pedal manual with rev-match

Love it!

Dang they got those wheels out to the corners with little overhang.

I hope it's a good handler. America needs a car to compete globally in the performance department.

Love it. The older guys are dying off so they're chasing the younger customer. Some 599 and Skyline in there for sure.

love it, looks super aggressive

Mrmerlin 01-13-2013 07:58 PM

what a wild design, I like it ,
this design makes the car even more menacing in an upscale way.

I will bet if your in your Camaro/Mustang the only thing your gonna see is the tail lights

Whoa! That thing looks wicked. Really, really like!!!

Yup, that's more like it in silver and the moving images. The edges do flow much better. I think I'll like it in person. Maybe I'll buy the ragtop in 2025. ;)

Love the shape and proportions. Very 599-esque, which isn't a bad thing in my book. Detailing is OK, not in love with the side vent design but I don't hate it either. Totally not feeling the rear end. Interior is kind of lackluster looking, but I get a feeling it'll have a lot more presence in person.

Actually, anybody else feel like that rear end would've been perfect for a new Trans-Am or Firebird?

Great looking car... But not for me.

I liked this.

I can deal with the outside and the heavy Asian influence, but the interior is way too busy for my liking. I still prefer simple. Ditch the T.V. and add some flow and maybe. It still has no draw for me to think about buying a chebby.
