Funny they make this statement in the speedhunters write up.
"If you can say you hate this car, you probably don’t have a pulse or just hate Porsches."

I think they were out of the time when they got to the back. It looks like an afterthought. As others pointed out the overall theme is there but details of the execution are lame.

I love it, Japanese have a way to modify cars that I really like.... I wouldn't want to own one, as it is basically useless due to ground clearance. But then again, I steer clear from the aero kit for this same reason and it aint anywhere that close to the ground.

I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of anything that Kei Miura has designed. Yak

Cars are like shoes... What ever you like, have at it. If you happen not to like the Japanese slant-nose cool, just keep all the major negativity to yourself. Don't hate, appreciate. If you can't appreciate someone else's vision that is different from your own, sad...

BTW - I think it's kind of cool! Big ups to the guy for making a statement!

Why don't I ever notice the dates of the original post LOL. Anyways, without the resurrection I would have never seen this. I don't hate it, but not "love at first site" either. I'm happy with mine thanx. Cheers

Kind of cool (minus the square rear corners). Reminds me of the beauty of the 935 slant nose posted above, and the ‘82 930 Evex Turbo poster I had as a kid.

I dig it too! Flachtnose look! I typically don't like the overdone look, but it is going towards a classic flat nose look, so I am voting yes!
