    What do you think of this car?

    I think it looks decent, except for the "fangs" on the front splitter.

    Sinfully ugly, yet still some neat design cues there. I like the fat, rounded fenders; reminds me of staring longingly into the rear quarter of an Alfa Romeo MiTo.

    Love this line:

    "We turned a 2008 Mustang GT convertible into a 1994 Hot Wheels reject."

    Forget the other car, this is the one I like!

    It's horrid and yet in the top view it has some basic cool lines.

    That statement is "We turned a 2008 Mustang GT convertible into a 1994 Hot Wheels reject."

    Pretty much sums it up

    I've seen it all over the place.

    Wretched, pointless excess (the bad kind). Way overdone. Tacky as all getup.

    An old friend of mine has a saying: 'as ugly as the yella side of dogE36 M3'. Appropriate in this case.

    It looks like the goofy caricatures some of the ricer crowd comes up with.

    Dunno, I think it has a really twisted organic/alien look, especially at the front end that is kinda fun in a 'what-if' sort've sci-fi way.

    The front reminds me of another car...oh the new Mitsu Lancers. The weird grille shape is the same as the Lancer and EVO Xs.

    Otherwise that is a hideous car.
