I like the prowler better for its style than this.

The Prowler is very good looking, but I think that this looks better and it has something the Prowler never had....a V-8.

Looks suspiciously similar to Rinspeed Roadster. Is there any link between them?

This thing seems like it has been overstyled. A little ugly.
I rather have a Luego Viento LV350 (RIP) if i had to.

the prowler is great but i don't think it had performance to match the AIV Roadster. if only they were still building it.......................

I saw this car one year at auburn and let me tell you its pretty cool. Plus not alot of engines sound better then a 4.6 with a different cam and exhaust.

The Prowler was Chrysler attempting to rehash Panoz' idea into mass production. The original AIV came out in 1989.

Rinspeed used the Panoz as a base for the Rinspeed Roadster.

Mind you, the AIV is much bigger than the Lotus 7, and shouldn't really be compared.

Thanks for explaining yourself. Preferably, next time you don't like a car, don't blame it on 'dick heads' that would drive it. You've just made yourself look like an asshole, and you make me want to drive a Panoz just for the sake of pissing you off.

What I was saying that if I drove it people in town would laugh at me... I didn't say the car was ugly.
