the interior is very lame.. (and i'm just guessing its not gonna be a 15-20K car..  )
other then that i think it looks cool, but in now way what so ever a timeless classic design as it look just like the 'now' cars with nothing special..

The body shape kind of reminds me of the S7, but lightweight and decent power are always a good thing.

Well. Lee Noble blew it. He could've made M14 as it was, but no. He had to change everything. Now it looks like nothing. And cheap.
Too bad.
*oh yeah, i'm sure it drives like dream, but it looks like hell.

^^ I disagree...I'm not sure that I like the rear end that much, but I'm sure that the changes were made for aero-purposes. On the other hand, I think the front is substantially better-looking than the M14's and the interior...well, the jury's still out on that, aside from the fact that it still looks like they're using the Focus Mk1's steering wheel. In any case, I see Gallardo, Saleen S7, Koenigsegg CCR, Lotus Elise and Esprit, Porsche CGT and 993, Ford, Mazda6, Gumpert Apollo and definitely a lot of the M12 architecture in this design...none of which is a bad thing. I can't wait to see some road tests of the car. Looks damned good to my eyes, I even like the color

I think the '92 Ranger had a 2-spoke steering wheel, and the later models had essentially the same wheel as the Mustang and Taurus of the day did, to me this really looks like the MK1 Focus wheel: http://www.km77.com/marcas/ford/focu.../interior2.jpg

Looks damn promising to me I always liked the style of the M12 and this looks as good but not as good as the M14
