lol yay dead thread! But I was inspired to look @ the company's web site and lo and behold, not only is it a pretty cool car, but it does a nifty trick as well:

The closeness of the brake and clutch peddle is.. . well.... interesting. I guess the peddles are more for show than go? From a looks standpoint I guess I like how the peddles are but I really don't know how it would be to drive it with them so close (I have very wide feet) Especially if it were "at speed". I guess from a show car / looks standpoint it is what you have to do (it is a marketing tool after all) but put that on the track and I can for see issues. The distance between the brake and the accelerator would make heel and toe difficult unless you had a size 18 double F shoe.

I like the look of the car in general However I suspect that it is probably has Fiero roots.

Maybe its a Faux 5-speed and that is really just a brake pedal and a 3-speed automatic?

In reply to curtis:

It looks like the Holden concept from a few years ago, but I don't think it is

Bringing this back from the dead because I saw this car again today. It's parked in front of the "Auto Zone" store described a few posts up for the Woodward Dream Cruise. It's a great looking car. My wife snagged a pic of it as we were rolling by.
