ehh...

at that price point, wouldn't a more aerodynamic shape, a lower polar moment of inertia, and a more mildly tuned scaling engine be expected? It's cool and all, but for that much money, I would want proper sports car engineering if it's gonna have proletarian underpinnings. Especially with that goofy boy-racer styling.

Go to Finalgear.com and download the full episode of Top Gear if you want to actually be able to see what's going on.

He likes the car, a LOT, and the whiz-bang stuff actually makes it a LOT faster around the track.

I actually like the rear more than any other view. The front is ok, but the sides and quarters look like a mess.

That Top Gear also has an amusing driving lesson from a "Scottish lady."
