its a strange thing to ask. the style of both the concept Stratos, and the Homologation Stratos are amazing... production is nearly perfect styling IMO for its time... its timeless.
there have been two recent concepts, one in 2000, and the other was recently presented... the 2000 is terrible; and definately not worthy of production. honestly, i'm not sure how it gout approved to be presented at any auto show.
the new concept is a different story; its almost there; but needs cleaning off the edges...
the front is very well done; but the front arches are too pronounced; and intrusive to the eye. while i like the idea of the 2 way split glass; i dont like it... it feels to star trek for my tastes (and i like star trek).
the rear is too bubbly... the rear arches need to be smoothed out; the C pillars really dont flow very well to the deck lid, and feel too short. It would be interesting to resurect Dino styling; and bring the center line of the arch to be offset rearward to the center of the rear axle... paying omage to the F car.... but im not sure that would look good LOL.
the paint job is waaaaaaay to loony tunes IMO.
in short, its a good styling excersize; but i wouldn't want to buy that car... but it doeshave some very good elements
