Haha, i hope you are kidding, this car isn't even in that class to begin with, and the design of this car looks far better to me than the solstice.
I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder and considering neither of us will be holding this car in the foreseeable future, here is to being a poor working class citizen.
Maybe it's because this is based/modified from the Lotus and I love the Lotus Elise design so much that this kind of ruins it for me. That said, I would still trade my girlfriend for it.
The photo on this article isn't very flattering and there are some much nicer photos on the Tesla site. For what it's worth, I liked the shape of the old Lotus Elise best (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FMq0_BLmSzQ), then the Tesla (which is based on the new Elise), and then the new Elise...
I always thought the Tesla looked nice, but there was something strange about it that I couldn't put my finger on until recently. Its the complete lack of air vents. I'm too used to seeing things like the Elise its based off of with massive side air vents to feed the engine. Without them, it just looks a little odd. I guess its just something we'll all get used to. Cars like this are only going to get more common
Trading your girlfriend for a car is really shortsighted; keep her around, utilize her income potential, and you will not only get the car and the girl, but you can use her money to upgrade to the newer model in a few years.

It's not even out yet and the design is already looking dated. The Solistice has a fresher take on the roadster right now.

I was going to try to insult you for saying you would trade your girl for it, but then I noticed. . . Hell, so would I.
