Introducing this car first, to the extend the line-up with the remaining models, is a smart move. Even if Alfa loses money on every car sold, the press coverage this model is gonna get, will give Alfa the start it needs to get a hold in the US.

I like the front end a lot better than the old one. The side profile looks a lot sleeker, too. Qualitatively, the Tiburon has always been a good car, I appreciate they also try to get the looks right now.

Why would anybody pay €107,300 for an SLK, when you can have an Aston V8 Vantage for the same money?

I like the looks, but the price is outrageous.

I'd love to see this on the road. With all the disguised racecars produced in Britain already, it's not impossible.

Actually, some ultra-rich even drive cars, and if they do, I'm sure they prefer to do so in a driver's car, not in a RR. My choice would be an Aston, a Lambo, or a Ferrari. I agree with the statement that Porsche doesn't really belong into this group. While it's a dream car for the real world, if one could by any car, it would most likely be something more exclusive than a Porsche.

Looking forward to this. Hopefully, Infiniti will follow this example soon. I just hope that the exhaust will be reserved for the prototype. I looks a little silly.

He should better have left the car as it was before. This is a catastrophe. By the way, what SMART are these headlights from? They look more like the ones from a Fiat Barchetta. I don't know any SMART that has headlight like this.

I've aid it before, and I'll say it again. A merger doesn't help any of the companies, as it wouldn't end any of the probems they currently face (except maybe for the lack of money). One of the main problems right now are the pensions, which could be helped by an infusion of money from a profitable partner. But the main problem, especially in GM's case, is that they use the same platform (and design) for several brands competing in the same market, and have problems explaining to customers, why they should pay a premium for the more expensive models. Merging with another company competing in the same market (an all prospective partners do compete in almost all markets), would just emphasize this problem, as there'd be even more cars using the same problems that would have to be distinguished. If tey hven't managed to make the cars differ with four or five companies under their belt, how do they expect to do it with six or seven.

GM and Ford simply have to get their acts together, and be more innovative than their counterparts. When it comes to this, I believe the future is brighter for Ford, than for GM, as Ford has managed to build quite some nice cars in the past.

This was necessary all along. Considering what the extended warranty has done for Hyundai's reputation, this might be a major step in restoring the customers' faith in the quality of Ford products again.

If this is it, I've just found my new dreamcar. I've always been a huge fan of Lotus, because I like their philosophy of savin weight whereever possible. I really hope they bring something like this to production (with some improvements in quality). I'm sure, this car would give some competitors (i.e. Porsche and Aston) a headache.
