It looks a lot smaller than I'd imagined.

It looks too small and simple for it's hefty price tag. The rear end could use a different set of lights. The front end and the rear look like they belong to two different cars. Front is nice and aggressive, but too aggressive for the side profile and rear 3/4. Nice car, but it looks more like a $50,000-60,000 car.

I disagree. What $50-60K car looks like that? M3? Not! R8 looks pretty nice, and looks like a $100K car too.
