Greg is at his desk looking at the pictures. I think I may need to leave and let him have a 'moment'. :chuckle:

I'm afraid to love it because I suspect they'll just parade it around and never build a production version, just as they did with the Sixteen. :(

Hopefully the styling cues make it into a future flagship model, which they claim is under development.

I hope the hybrid system acts better than the one in their Escalade.
The electric motor takes quite a while to kick in after you press the pedal, which makes for some weird moments when a person waves at you to go first but thinks you're waiting on them and starts moving, and both of you end up going off the line at the same time.

Better bring something to clean the screen. :biggrin:

I dunno, I'm not seeing the sexiness. While the hockey stick style tail lights are okay in the rear, the same look in the front combined with the oversize goofy smiley grill makes it looks more creepy than sexy IMHO. Sorry, I say "Ciel" it in a coffin.

It's gorgeous. Only problem I have with it is the engine. This thing is screaming for a V12, or even better, the V16 from the Sixteen.

One of my favorite concepts in a while.

Another V6 front drive waste of my time. I don't give a damn how nice it looks if they can't get the powertrain right. Cadillac and Lincoln have both failed me. Time for the Force Choke.

Gorgeous? No.
Sexy? Ahem.

Sure, it's got sleek lines, but it looks like it was slapped together.

The gigantic wheels kinda make it look cartoonish. I like it otherwise though.

Meh, it's nice and elegant looking but I don't like the front end or the overall length of the car. No thanks.
