Looks pretty good except the horrific back end of the roof. I hope it has rear view cameras since you won't be able to see much out of that rear window.

The roof makes me thing of a guy with a poor fitting toup.

I kinda like if from the front. The rear end looks... eh, unfinished?

I like it. But then again, I seem to like almost everything.

Like I said on Jalopnik, it just looks like a Mini post rollover accident.

And to echo another sentiment there, the roof looks like a bad toupe.

Do they really need to make a coupe? Isn't the wheelbase short enough?

I'm all for it if the car is cheap. Start this car at 16 thousand. Otherwise what's the point of this car?

It kinda looks like an alfa sz es30 with a mini front clip.

To hook some more fish.

I don't think its too bad, but looks about as easy to get into as an MGA coupe.
