Man this car is growing on me everyday and those are some great shots! This is the first time I saw this car without black wheels and it looks better without them.

This car has some nice options! CF package, diffferent wheels that aren't black, different caliper color (are the brakes bigger too? looks like it), and matte silver paint...

Brakes with red calipers are identical, it's just a simple $300 paint option for calipers... I may get the dark graphite gunmetal stock color instead of red... Red looks too ricey IMO

Looks like it has the carbon fiber exterior package. If you want the black window surrounds and black exhaust tips as well, you have to add the night styling package to the carbon package.

i also think the black wheels and red accents look ricey. same thing with the red seats and red seat belts. I'd take the black interior version (although I like the brown too, I don't like the way they split the brown throughout the interior). only thing that car above needs is the lip spoiler

Thanks for the pics. I think this car looks incredibly foolish and incohesive with lines that just dash waywardly as if there was no thought behind them. IMO they went to the early 2000's of Fast and Furious in terms of finding overt "rice rocket" features and throwing them all together on an ill-proportioned FWD base with a gigantic front overhang.

That said, I can only imagine how much fun it would be to drive, for the price, campy looks and all. There will certainly be a market for this car and it will probably nail its intentions.

I know you hate hearing criticisms of precious Benz, Hype. I wish I could love everything they put out as well. Like a mother loves her children. Life would be so simple.
