This is a design that has to simmer for a bit. It's going to be a bit more expensive so it will have a new audience. It will take away from Ferrari interested with these looks. I suppose it is on par with the segment it targeted. More sex and less viscousness. A car that it obviously fast but doesn't scream it like the old viper did. But that's what was appealing that pitbull in a cage look about it that would kill you soon as look at you.

Overall i actually like this. its still very viper (and this coming from someone who hates this car) but its cleaner. the interior looks miles better as well.
however, its not all good
WTF is this doing here.

That's the "we're gonna sell this as an Alfa in Europe" space.

I dig it totally!
Man that engin bay is awesome and that interior is about a zillion times better than the last version.

How can you not like this?? 
The Car in black has to be wicked. I better start saving.
Anyone else think it drives on a 285 rear tire too??

Well, I certainly wouldn't turn one down if someone offered me one, but looks kinda odd overall. It looks a lot better in those barn glamour shots but I think it's the front fascia and headlights that are throwing me off.

I LOVE IT. My next car was always kind of up in the air but I am pretty sure I'm going to try to go after one of these.
A buddy of mine has an '08 and he's going to be getting a '13 so hopefully I can check it out without too much delay!
They really put the first and second generations together and mixed in a little Ferrari. I'm digging the new interior too. Looks so much more upscale and worthy of the car than before.
