Excellent point. And does it offer flimsy cup holders?

That is one of the most beautiful, curvacious cars I've every seen. I hate the rear, though.

Do those front intakes look a little too Chevy TrailBlazerish?

I LOVE the exhaust pipes coming up through the rear deck.

The front of the car between the front fenders seems too hard edged for a Ferrari, and not consistent with the rest of the car. Almost kit car-ish. Definitely not a finished expression. Almost as if the designers were in a hurry to complete this example and had no other inspiration for this component. More like a McClaren Can Am car in its crude form. The area at the bottom of the doors is also not in harmony with the upper area of the doors and the rest of the car. This car seems like a bunch of different designers penned each angle and then pasted them all together. Lacks unity and elegance, unlike the original P4 which was a model I admired in the sixties.

Thanks for the pics.

I like it a little better in the 2nd round of pics - not sure why though.

I hate the tail pipes. They look like they were stolen from a tug boat.

And we could call Jim "Tugboat Willie."
He does look a little like a rat, doesn't he?

The side elevation is too "busy"; too many things happening as if every trite
expression or visual device should be atached to this machine for impact. Lines going every direction disrupting continuity. I also am repulsed by the tail pipes and "tug boat" seems appropriate. These guys can do better work.
