Not sure why if a small car company can designe a beatiful exterior like that, why the hell GM signed off on the Aztek's exterior?

Gorgeous car. Why can't all cars be so effortlessly beautiful? Looking in your general direction Porsche Panamera and anything BMW...

Stunning styling - looks most similar to the Aston Martin Rapide or whatever the concept sedan is called. Supposedly it's a from the ground up all Tesla design. 0-60 in 5.6, 160-330 mile range depending on battery option. I'd give it 1/10 odds of actually making it to market.

I love it... looks like a new audi.

Looks like all the controls are part of a giant LCD screen. Even the speedo/tach looks like a giant LCD panel!

If anyone deserves any form of bailout cash, tesla deserves it.*

* I know I snuck in a political statement, let's keep the discussion centered around tesla

Depending on the cost, if it can be priced like a bmw 5 series (obviously not with that interior) or a 7 series with that interior, I think they will sell.

That interior looks like a bad hangover from 1980's gee-whiz tech. I would actually guess that the giant LCD screen is probably cheaper to do than a conventional interior with switchgear.

Love it. I would prefer, however, a standard engine version. Too bad that won't ever happen.
