I've been following this on Jalopnik for a little while. On one hand, I feel very bad for Mr. Lyons. I mean, it is clear that he is in way over his head and that he is one of those people who possesses that dangerous balance of arrogance and ignorance that enables him to be completely wrong and able to make a fool out of himself while not being sharp enough to realize that we're all on to him. Consequently, I kind of feel bad for him. Then again, I'm a firm believer of "don't bring none, won't be none," so he's really got no one to blame but himself.

Agreed, I think his intentions are genuine with this but it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

My favorite phrase was "that's an accurate assumption". Good luck to this guy if legit, somehow felt like watching American Greed.

No way it's 9 months from production. We're talking about some wheels and a poorly molded body with no real panels/doors/features being transformed into a production-ready car in less than a year. Ha!

Rofl, the broken bondo on the edges of the panels and fender were worse than my first attempt at body work! Sweet puff piece.

So they don't even have a single working sample to show and they claim they are 9 months away from production? lol

Fat chance of that.

Wow.

Man, too bad no more Top Gear. I bet they could do a great piece on this car. Love to see Jeremy there questioning this guy.

I can't believe they actually rolled that paper mache piece of crap into an auto show, cover or no cover.

Does this guy actually possess a personal fortune he is flushing down the toilet on this venture?
