rwd + that design = pretty hot!!! Car that's sculpted by Pininfarina and looks that sleek deserves at least a small compact 6 cyl. motor whether it be an I6 or V6. That car(weighing about 2700-2800lbs mated with BMW's 300hp twin turbo inline 6 would be a great match, IMHO.

It'll look stunning on the side of the road while you wait for a tow truck...

That front end, which was the only pic posted at the time, looks good to you? The rest of the car looks good but that front end is a smile only a brit could love.

You know, people bellyache about the looks of new cars all the time. What almost invariably happens is that people grow accustomed to the way the car looks and eventually come around to like it. Then whenever a new version of the car comes out, they hate the way the new one looks. Then the cycle just repeats itself.
This is obviously not a production car. The front end is literally a single piece, which would make it extraordinarily expensive both to manufacture and to replace if it gets damaged. IMO, the design is decent, but I expect the production to look differently. I also don't see that interior making it into production in any form close to what we see in the above picture.
That said, that side profile is awfully sexy.

I think that front end will change, my guess is the lighting isn't DOT approved.
But truthfully, I do like the front end and I think when they redo it, it will be even better.
