I like the avangarde rear, unlike the Cadillac Escaladish front.

I have to admit, this car... is hideous. We waited all this time for that? Jeez, thanks for wasting our time, and your money.

Hmm... looks like a ZR1 with the lines of the CitroenGT car, which now looks like something from Ridge racer.

They managed to take the low and sleek Vette and make a fat, angular car. Not that good... The rear looks interesting though...

The rear is a pretty interesting design. However, someone must've been tripping balls to think that the front looked good.

This is a twaddle on the matter of car design trends, not a car design.

Alot of Toyota FT-HS on the side...and some 'Essense of Infiniti' in the rear windshield area.

They've managed to combine it all into a rather awful looking package

Looks like a -supercar of the future- imagination picture from 10-15 years ago.

How could such a beautiful car exist? The front is amazingly stylish and the rear end's complexity is artistically genius. I'd love to see this in a nice black.
