It's look like a front Ferrari 360 with side Ford Mustang, I prefer the current Elise

wheather it is photshopped or not, i think it's fugly. Blame crash regulations. As more and more cars are getting 5* in the NCAP crash saftey tests, they are having to focus their attention on pedestrian safety - that means very high bonnet-lines so that the engine is as far away from any pedestrian's head as possible. In my opinon, it makes most cars look shit and will sound the death bell for the classic supercar profile of 'low bonnet' - 'high arse.' Blame who you like infact, it's still going to happen.

yeah...that worries me a lot...I'm still hoping that manufacturers will handle it somehow without changing the shape dramatically - there are certain ways like bonnet-airbags etc.
So there is an ounce of hope that many cars won't be that much influenced but it's definitely the end of cars like Range Rover - the shape of which is also unpermissible

If i had to choose between this one and the current model, I would get the current one...this one has something that I can't explain but which I don't like...
