I'm still undecided about it.
There seems to be a bit of Lexus SC430 and Crysler Crossfire about it towards the rear, and thats not a good thing.
I'm sure i'd love it if i saw one in the flesh though.
Also, i would have prefered round headlights like this...

Very like the old 300SL, can't go wrong with styling like that.
The round headlights look far too Porsche like imo.

Nope. They just choose to limit some.
