IMO this is the best looking modern car. The instruments are simple. The lines are graceful. Its art.

The more I see it the more I want to throw up. It looks too flim flam. The front end looks like it's handbuilt. You want a car to be handbuilt, but you don't want it to look handbuilt.

I know the cars are VERY well built, but the right angle on the headlamps make the fender it's on look concave, and thus, look poorly engineered.

not sure on the description the look you're gettign, but having seen in the flesh there was nothign on the front that to me looked poorly engineered.
Is it possible you're seeing a 2d->3d mind artefact ? ( Happens a lkot where the brain fills in data it thinks woudl be there for us to imagine the 3d of the 2d iamge )

there was a thing on top gear about this car. they didn't think it was really an all out performance car, more of a show off car for rich people.

I'd take one, no doubt...then again, if I had the money and actually bought one...I might either buy 1 for a collector, and 1 with a changed steering wheel...then again, its all about the money...

I like it, just somethings take time....I do hope this is in TDU...its a blast to drive in GT4.
