        Quite possibly the most boring supercar ever made.

                  Because it looks like every current supercar slapped together into one. You can't honestly tell me you don't see a Ferrai, a Lamborghini, and a Koenigsegg, amongst others in that car.

                    I was actually thinkig it looked like a re-vamped Mclaren/350 Modena with the rear end of an RX-8. The guages look a lot lke a Koenigseg too. It's not a bad lookin car, but it isn't consideribly fast (compared to other supercars) and it doesn't have any real original styling cues.

                      hah. if it looks good, it looks good...who cares if it is similar in design to some other supercars. You people are almost as bad as those "I liked it before it was cool" people.

                        God forbid I express my opinion about a car, and even more that I don't agree with everyone that likes it.

                        I'm not impressed by every shiny, carbon fiber-covered, supercharged, low slung, menacing looking supercar that rolls off the assembly line.

                        None of the specs on that car are really even that impressive.

                            Yes, but your opinion of my opinion being dumb is only your opinion, and not my opinion. And though the opinion of the other members who share your opinion of my opinion may be entitled to their opinion, I still have my opinion of the car being opposite of your opinion and...

                            Oh no, I've gone cross-eyed.
