Sorry. Don't see it at all!
The back end particularly looks (to me) a huge step backwards, in aesthetics, not time.

Not a fan. I think it's a cool concept, but the design looks like a caricatured jumble of several classic automotive designs and just doesn't flow and it looks like its trying too hard.

Retro cars don't appeal to me.

I get it that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; but in my opinion quirky, limited edition, hand built cars such as these (or the Bristol Fighter or the Lightweight E Type) have been an integral part of British design heritage. Probably a large part of the reason why Jaguar and Aston Martin can convey emotion more deeply than most teutonic German machines.

More opinions?
