    Seems a little pricey. I wonder if it comes with any chocolate?

    Did not look at pricing, one comment. Needs a nose job! Otherwise, interesting!

    I sort of like the retro look of the car. The front end reminds me of a PT Cruiser. A new face would help for sure.

    So MINI and Peugeot basically use the same conventional front wheel drive power train package....

    I find it interesting that this company took the Prince engine, and turned it North / South...

    I wonder what transmission is being used in their setup....

    And then throw the hybrid drive in on top of that...

    Seems like it would have been better for a small company just getting started to keep the front wheel drive Prince package and just add the hybrid drive as part of a rear drive module...

    I wonder how they pulled this off....

    I agree about the front. Rest of the car is pretty damned nice.

    Kind of reminds me of the Morgan Aero 8.

    On their website, they stated it rivals Porsche in performance.

    The left out it will also rival Porsche in maintenance costs.
