Get out $127,000, no telling how much the turbo will be?? It does have a 100 HP electric motor. 400 HP base car and 500+HP with the turbo. Must ask yourself why, why on this motorized oddity.

Holy crap...I hope the final version doesn't look like the pics Godfather posted above.

The rear end is horrendous! It looks like a pregnant 928.

Been in the making for a long time. However, I wonder how it will sell. What market will it hit?

The rims are rather lame, I expected better. Not a bad looking ride, but the BMW four door coupe looks better IMO.

I still prefer the CLS over any 4 door coupes out there, and trust me everyone is doing it.

We've been ridiculing this poor station wagon all week on OT. It's a sad piece of design, comes close to even exonerating Bangle of a few of his sins.

I'll jump on the bandwagon here. I can't imagine how the company that brought us the 911 and the Cayman (which I love!) came up with this. When I saw the first drawing years ago, I was pretty excited about the possibilities. Then, the first test pics came out, and I thought they must have done a terrific job camouflaging it because it looked so bad. Well, it's finally here, and it looks like a disaster.

I would think porsche could have done better, it looks really bad. Looks like one of those Limo companies got hold of a Carrera, cut it in half, and added some panels... or some 10 year old experimenting with photoshop...

it better have 900HP to make up for how bad it looks.... Lamborghini did a MUCH better job with their Estoque
