Those cars' design and performance have done absolutely nothing for me ever since they came out... and now with a $60K+ pricetag it does even less. I'm at a loss why a manufacturer would undertake such a blend of two different of concepts. I think the final product is a joke.

The only demographic I see fit for this car is a spoiled femaile teenager who would use it to drive between malls.

This reminds me...the other day I saw a souped-up Smart Car...extra wide tires, after-market wheels, racy paint job, front spoiler. Surprised the driver wasn't wearing a helmet!
