I don't know why, but I feel like there is a BMW waiting to jump out of that. A Z3. Maybe just the DLO giving me that vibe.

Good, but needs different (i.e. "less flashy") wheels.

Looks like it rear ended somebody. The designer tried too hard... it looks like it's trying to compensate for a small penis

it looks like a cobra body, but with almost a marcos mantis rear end, a tvr/aston martin-ish front end, bmw side vents, a detomaso pantera-ish hood, rx7 fd3s headlights, and kind of a zagato roof thing going on. it looks cool but the individual features look far to familiar for it to be a super big seller. if it had better taillights and knock off hubs or mag wheels it might be cooler but definitely not in that color of red. the convertible is sweet but it could stand to have a slightly exposed supercharger or something sticking out of the hood at least. i'd buy one in slate gray with black racing stripes

Thanks,
