I don't like the rear very much, but the rest of it looks good

Looks nice. Clean styling. Looks far from production ready, though. As far as I'm concerned, though, I'd love to see them abandon the fancy powertrain and just drop in an LS7. An LS7 in a 2700lbish mid-engine car for $120Kish would be a cool option.
