I like this!

This is thing is cool, and 270 bhp would be fun too
US designer builds

Certainly not cheap though.

...although a bit "Buck Roger'ish" in looks, it does look interesting...curious about the "rippling" side-panel between the wheels.

I love that car!
It could stand to lose the side mirrors, perhaps less traditional side windows could be designed in as well, I am thinking a oblong port hole of sorts would look nice on it.
It is beautiful,IMO, all though futuristic i think it would need to be to step away from our current models.

I like that walkaround video, there is not a single angle of this car that I don't like. For how "odd" looking it is, it looks very well proportioned and the angles all compliment eachother.

Unfortunate that it sits so low it probably can't even drive on most of the roads around here. One pothole would probably do it in.

That's ugly, and even wrong-wheel drive.

It certainly makes a good first impression. It's not too low—roads aren't smooth enough. But when you look at the sight-lines...

Driving it would appear to be like taxing a tail-dragger airplane. The bottom of the windshield post is level with the drivers eyes..

It looks like the Buick Wildcat mated with an air jordan.
