You just made my day, Z_B. I ain't a vehicle man myself, but even I can appreciate beauty when it's put before my eyes.

Interesting. Let's see if it's more durable than the typical Porsche now.

With all those extra systems (and a 7 speed gearbox), it's got to be!  Oh wait ...

exactment ha.

Porsches are already infamous for being mechanically garbage on Race Day.  I bet this thing wouldn't make it a full race under racing conditions without some kind of major meltdown.

Faster cars equals a faster way to die.

Mmm.  That is a pretty car, and a hybrid too!

Yeah, it looks a lot like the Carrera GT - which is, IMO, one of the prettiest cars ever made.  I'm not all that into Hybrids myself.  I am, however, into Hybrids that can do 198 mph.

I like the Carerra too. It's an evolution of the porsche body that I think should have been done by now. (I don't like their normal look)

I like this thing too.

But I don't like Porsche Breakability.

I like the Carrera 4s a lot.  But yeah, some variety in shape is nice.  And when a car costs that much, it damned well better not break.  I saw a show one time an' it had this rapper on it with his custom Continental GT (of course - hell, if I was loaded I'd have one ).  He talked about when he first got it.  The door handle fell off on the first day.  Nice.  Six figure cars should be well put together, ya know?
