I agree with a lot of posters here, another missed opportunity.
Wing, you wondered about a lack of comments. Other than the website not working, maybe a lot of people look at this and go "who cares?" I for one am waiting for some car company to step up and create a legend - if we could 10 or 20 years ago, why not now? Sure, things have gotten heavier and more sanitized, but hasn't technology improved as well?
Original VW GTI. Original CRX. Miata. BMW 2002tii. All legends. Why can't someone create that spark again? I know those cars are from a different era, but there are ways to make light, sporting machines that don't need a ton of power to be fun. Steering feel, for example, my biggest pet peeve in current autodom - what's so hard or expensive about that? Yet it can make a relatively average car feel wonderful to drive.
Until someone makes an effort to do that, I look at this retro-styled thing and couldn't be bothered to cross the street. It will be very nice, I'm sure, but not memorable. Just another automotive appliance.
