I think it's a pretty sweet *** looking car, you could have picked a more flattering picture. You know, one without a light bar mounted on the front.

From the headlights back it's great. The snout wrecks it.

Yeah....I'd be ashamed to have it in my garage...NOT. I'm still not in love with the F430 either, but I sure wouldn't be upset if I owned one. Just like this Bugatti (I'd take it with those silly lights and gray primer if it's a straight trade for my tt). :-)

If I had millions of dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I'd get a Koenigsegg CC or Pagani Zonda.

I think they look pretty good. I mean it's not the greatest design in the world but it's FAR from ugly. My dad saw it last year when he was in Berlin and liked it a lot, here's a picture he took:

By the time this car is finally released from it's first showing, it will be 8 years old to the exotic world - would be like Porsche showing us the 996 in 1998 and still not on the market !

Chad,

It's my understanding that it will actually not produce the current 1001 hp everyone is talking about?
