I hate to say it but I'm not sure I like it. Given how amazing their other cars are, I don't see the appeal to this one. Am I missing something? Is it maybe less hardcore and more livable as a street car?

From the nose to the A pillar is ok, from the back and rearward side it's just ugly. And I can't see the flexi panels doing well with age and sun.

Seems like they come out with a new "version" about every six months... and claim every one is sold before production starts... hell of a business model.
