Interesting concept. I have been checking it out for sport but the styling making my stomach upset. As near as I can tell it is horrible interpretation of the Ferrari California...not that the California is the best looking car to come out of the stable in recent years.

What intrigues me is the horsepower potential of the boxer motor in a front engine rear layout. 300+ HP should be possible....but really, why is it so fat? 2700lbs? Yes compared to Audi's and BMW's it is svelte but you can go out and buy an 2800lbs S2000 with 40 more horsepower more classic lines (imho) and they are a hoot if you drive it as intended (no torque down low so you have to keep the rev's up). I know I have been enjoying mine since 05.

That being said this car is on the right track from a formula standpoint...but it is styled for the kiddies. Overactive surfacing and the lines are interrupted and don't let your eye wander around the body...so now I feel officially old
