Bad QA aside (assuming pre-production), the car just lacks balance, the front and rear seems like they came from different design departments. It just seems disjointed.

That's just terrible. Like a lumpy banana.

I like these wheels better. The gaps are just pre-production issues. It will be fine. Vipers, especially the non-acr's have always looked kind of off in pictures to me. they always look much better in person. I bet this one will be the same.


from autoblog
But what we haven't seen is the full color palette that will be offered, and our spy photographers recently caught a Viper prototype out testing sporting a fresh coat of yellow paint, as well as some new, more sedate wheels.

As for that color, we aren't sure how we feel about it just yet, granted, we'll want to see it in person and without all of the hastily bolted-together panel gaps of this prototype.

Yellow looks FANTASTIC on some cars (S2000 included). Not here, though... In the words of a friend from high school commenting on a girl's yellow leather pants: "It's like somebody tried to wrap a watermelon in a banana peel!"

Just noticing that its mouth isn't any picnic, either...

Still, BEST VIPER YET. I'll take mine in that acid green color. Or blue w/ white stripes a la Cobra Daytona Coupe. Or red.

Doesn't look nearly as good in yellow and the wheels don't look as nice as the the autoshow pics of that red one.
