    One step closer, which means absolutely nothing (I am sort of a pessimist ) but hey there is always that one in a million chance. I wont hold my breath but I will keep my fingers crossed :fingerscrossed: The 3D images are just that, but I could live with those lines:Thumbsup:

    So they can't make money selling Roadsters at about the same price as a hardtop, but they are going to make money selling millions of Superleggeras at $10,000-20,000 more than a hardtop (seeing as every panel is custom to this model)?

    It's just marketing fluff.

    I swear, anymore on this Forum, if someone offered a 10 dollar bill it would turn into a bitching session because they didn't offer two fives. Things change...

    If something changes for the worse, are we supposed to applaud it?:biggrin5: Never been a fan for change for the sake of change, but that's just me.

    I actually like the Superleggera concept, but I think it'll depend on how it's marketed. It looks to be more of a cruiser than a screamer, and I think that it'd do well in that niche. If it's electric, that would put me off of it, but that's just me.

    Nice looking concept. Hope it makes it intact to production. If it is electric, well that makes it an un-car in my narrow mind.

    I'm thinking with inflation & all I could really use $100, in crisp $10 dollar bills. :cool:

    I'm not picky, I'll take that $10 in any form of valid currency.

    I'll take mine in Euros. I've always wondered what they look like.
