well it took about 20 minutes for the page to load on my slow-ass-copper-phone-lines-at-the-end-of-a-dirt-road internet connection, but i have to say, i'm impressed.
not necessarily with the overall design of the car, but with the fact that FHI is finally funding a roadster. my mother has ALWAYS wanted a droptop car, but her need for AWD has always stopped her from dropping the cash.. she looked at the TT quattro but it was a little too Bauhaus for her anyway, it seems to me that people are caring less and less about what a car actually LOOKS like (see 01-04 WRX, Z4, any Chrysler product) and some of them care even LESS about how well it PERFORMS (see non-evo Lancer, Celica, Civic Si) so i imagine this new roadster will actually do okay. In fact, I think that the hybrid/AWD/droptop combo will satisfy an ever-widening niche for economy, safety, and image. now let's see if they have the balls to build it. -adam |

I love the R1e (at least for the wife)
Ideal little shopping car and would free up the SVX for me

I liked everything about the B11S except the nose, it was just way too extreme. This one is just not quite as over the top, I like it.

The Air Force is up to B-2 from B-1 in bombers.
Subaru started with B-11S and went down to B-9S This car reminds me of a Miata with an Alfa grill.

I like it. And, I might be able to afford one in four years.
I also like the B11S. But the roadster, in comparison, is somewhat "benign."
