    Lower the price to $49,975, and I think they have a winner.

    Do the doors open in TVR Tuscan-esque fashion? Seems that there's nothing to grab onto to open it, but I suppose it's an electronic release.


    Either that, or this is still a prototype version.

    @adhir:


    At least they'd have an entire assload of puns at their disposal. Minimizing the actual windows of the car, and so forth. Hmm, "restore" would actually be a great feature for the car windows.

    Not improbably expensive for a luxury sedan. Pleases me that the Civic-level equivalent can probably be soon made at mass consumption prices.

    Ya' know, to me it looks just like every other jelly-bean-shaped car of the last decade, yawn for the "big unveiling". But then, I'm not a car person, what do I know?

    Hot damn this is a sexy car. Has a little Bimmer coupe appeal with some Aston Martin four door loveliness. All around, super attractive.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Is it the front wheel placement that gives it that Bimmer look?


    I'm not sure what it is but I thought Bimmer when I first saw it too. I always noticed how the front wheel is much closer to the front on a BMW then most other cars. Is that what we're picking up on or is it another design element I'm missing but just subconsciously associate with BMWs?

    @tande04: The rear end of the car reminds me of the latest 3-series coupe taillights, though a bit more expanded and curved out with less of a boot lip.


    And yeah, BMW likes to push the wheels out to the corners, so the front has little overhang. At the 3 quarter view from the rear, it has a pretty similar Bimmer stance.
