Not bad. But will it stand up to the competition that it's gonna have. Infiniti M45, Cadillac STS, Acura RL...

Looks like an Audi from the back.

Nice care nevertheless. Especially like the rims and dual exhaust.

Bangle a bit in the back and the front snout.  Rear quarter panel looks like a Maxima part.  Like all Japanese designs, it's not a wow thing....just a nice.  

I like the BMW 5 series look better than this.  Hopefully this thing will be able to drive like a 5.

Man! I'm well over 7 minutes (in the Enzo).  I've got a long way to go to catch you, James.

Drivesideways, I can get 6:50 in a Ferrari F50

Saleen I can do 6:45ish.  Enzo I think I can get a low 6:40 or lower.

6:30 with a GT1 and 6:10 with a Cerbera

Looks sporty and sophisticated...but, likes its predecessors, still has a fat ass when seen from three-quarter view. As I type, the Acura RL commerical is on...now that looks hot.
