Here's what I don't get.

They make a car that looks great from the front and front 3/4:


But then the rear is a total let down:


What is up with that? It almost seems as though they were in a rush and didn't bother to style it.

From their site:

... the shape was analyzed at improvised focus groups. The groups' findings concluded that Factory Five needed to change the car's rear end shape. So another design was created, another full-scale buck made, and another working prototype built. This design was favored by everyone who saw it...

Just the same, I'm sure it would be a helluva car, with a Porsche motor or LS1.

All told, if I was going to build a kit car, I'd want to do a Beck Spyder with 911 power.
