I agree. the rear is a little strange. Not a fan of the tri-exhaust. It all balances out, I think, when the rear-wing is up.

Wow that rear is busy. I do like the carbon fiber underbody. Hate the steering wheel color. "shrug" to each his own but this isn't for me.

I agree on the color, that's some new lexus....... idea. It's a bit over the top. i like the rest of the car, though.

Just looked at some stats on this thing. I'm not sure I understand this car. It will be twice the cost of a 458 Italia. It is slower. It is slower out of the turns. It handles worse. It brakes worse. I mean, other than the cool dashboard, what's the point of this thing? And why only make 500? It's very animae. Front nose from the side looks like one of those crazy things you see ricers put on their civics. And that side vent by the window. What in the world? You know I believe it was Enzo Ferrari (or was it Scaglietti or Pininfarina? one of them) that said, "A car should be shaped like the snow after the wind blows over it". This is shaped like the snow after Dragon Ball Z. HI YAHH!!!

I like it, specially the interior. The exterior is white and I hate white cars.

The front looks good to me, but the rear, something doesn't fit well. The carbon bits looks functional, definitely they didn't do it there for the looks!

I'm missing the days where Japanese cars were trying to be like germans... I think this is one of the ugliest things on the road. I'm sorry, I just don't see it. I guess they thought, well hell... Nissan can get away with the GTR, we might as well make something just as ugly! Take that! They are only making 400 so they can charge what they want. You think they could sell any more of them in this economy? They have to make people think it will hold its value somehow...

i think from most angles its not too bad, but the back is just odd. I think at 350k though, they should just play the exclusivity game and not produce many of them. Thats the only way they'll break even. They won't sell them mainstream because no one can afford it, and for the super-rich they are competing with bentley and ferrari, etc. So they better cater to their niche and not make too many.
