I'm sure the technology is great but I don't find the style of the car particularly attractive.

piece of crap look wise..... i mean its like one car comming out of another or like two different cars joined together in the middle and left incomplete... and the face of the car is just

I mean they could have done a better job on the looks of the car if they did such a great job on the drivetrain......and for a million dollars....na ...na... na..

Gotch'ya. I would imagine that the overall shape and form of the car plays a HUGE roll in the downforce department...which you need tons of to achieve 252mph safely. For some reason, I like the styling. It's very different. The rear hatch area that displays the engine just looks incredible.

On a side note, AutoWeek did a spread on this car either this week or last. It's a good read and the car has some really cool features.

I respect the fact that some of you guys think this looks like crap, but I for one dig it. Hell, I'm sure we've all seen worse...
