They do not understand what makes a car appealing. Would anyone agree this an "all-American" supercar? Though it may be designed and built in America, does it possess similar qualities to other great American cars? What are they thinking, releasing a kitcar cum supercar as drab as this during this economic season? It is foolishness. And I promise it will be ruthlessly expensive for what it is -- an outdated plastic shell stretched over a steel frame, thrown together with the care of a profit-driven failing business and tolerances Fisher Price would be ashamed of.

I agree Bremen.. I hate to come off as self enlightened, but I don't know which company does understand what is an appealing car in our times. It certainly isn't all of these mega-horsepower, heritage-less, tuner become manufacturer cars. It isn't a Tesla or any other electric car or hybrid. Where are the drop-dead gorgeous coupes, roadsters and four door coupes with I6's or boxer engines. BMW or Porsche could do it if they brought in some fresh designers (from Italy, not Wisconsin) and stopped focusing on classes of SUV like things that they have to make new acronyms to describe. Maybe Alfa and BMW can tie-up for more than mini's.

Was anyone else thinking of the Farbio GTS when you see the side?

What exactly is the part of "It's own design" that is not an exact copy of the Factory Five GTM?!?!? Bremen is spot on in his observation in this car and it could equally apply to the SSC. All of these cars are nothing more than overglorified kit cars. I personally don't think that there is anything wrong with kit cars and I even love some like Kelmark and the Fiberfab Jamaican, however, a kit car is not the best Americans can do. Its just the best that a few cash strapped doomed operations choose to build. Laraki is an example of a builder with sexy cars that could have and should have inspired American designers. As long as we have this Harley-Davidson fascination with old big engines without real performance, these dreams will come and go and go they rightfully should.
