I don't really see the resemblance. It does have huge overhangs though.

It's okay. Agree about the wheels. Main problem is it's too damn big. But I know they have a market for the fatty car.

Yeah, the rear trunk overhang looks _weird_, especially after everyone moved away from that kind of design.

Full circle. Can't wait for 14" wheels to come back into fashion.

I don't like the trunk but the roofline is somewhat 3.0 CSL-like I think. Either way I can't afford it so it matters not.

This is the internet. We can ALL afford one, we just don't buy it because we don't like it
