As far as workmanship, it looks better than most kit car conversions.

As far as design, it's not even close to a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 GT Roadster.

Someone is going to spend over $30k to look like a fool.

OK, I guess I am the odd man out here. Forget that it does not really look like a Lambo, but I like it!

I think it is cool to have a one off car on a great platform.

And it is probably a salvage, because it was in an accident, the fixed up the frame or whatever and added a new body. Nothing wrong with that.

DO you think GM will warrantee it??

In most states, a car with a salvage title is almost impossible to insure. Ray

Aside from the salvage title, the wheel base has been stretched to match Lambo dimensions. Although this will help maintain the Lambo style, I wonder about the effect on weight, rigidity, balance, and handling.

I wouldn't touch it. But I will give the guy an "A" for the effort, and wish the buyer happiness.

Looks better than a Solstice. Glad they didn't do that to a Sky though as that would be a downgrade.

At first glance, I didn't think it looked bad. Did anybody notice how thick the A-pillars became though? Yikes.

All I have to say is what a waste of money. They took a beautiful car and turned it into a disgusting senseless mess.


BLAH!

Some cars evoke desire admiration the only thing that car evokes is the need to vomit.

Lately that is all I have seen from these designers. I remember the days when clean make overs were cool, but this is just crap.
