lol, i would definitely take a saleen looooong before i took a 360, and im not an american car kinda guy. you just hafta appreciate the car for what it is.....a race car with an interior.....it would be like buying a c5r corvette IMO. it's an amazing car yea, but i think most of us would consider it more of a race car than exotic. the s7 seems to fall in that category as well to me.

Nobody knows what kinda car it is, that's my point. It doesn't give me butterflies at all, it does to you. The car was a racecar and is now a roadcar, right?

I don't like it very much, doesn't have that "touch" that the european exotics have.

What I think is that todays supercar isn't all about speed and racing cars looks . The problem with the S7 and indeed the other forgotten supercars is that they are too racing car like , very very good on the track but there not usable for everyday.
The supercars that are not forgotten are the ones that apart from the awesome speed, power and torque, they are very comfortable and usable.
Why is Mclaren F1 probably the best car ( I leave this to anyone’s criteria) in the World?? Because it can do 241 Mph, but also take you to a party, a dinner with a reasonable amount of confort. And that’s why the supercars now have air con, electric windows, radar guides cruise control, etc.
A supercar is not all about speed, its about the whole experience. Its is above all the other in every aspect.

maybe now it will be really sexy and good but it has never had so much fame as a mc laren so yes it will be forgotten, and maybe in 10 or 20 years this styling wount look as good as it does now. because times are changing, first its the square type cars, the round,etc... right now its the spoilers with air vents and things like that, so who knows how it will look when the "shape" changes again, maybe it would look ugly or maybe good like the olg porsches.
