    I am thinking groceries are NOT their concern with this particular model... :cornut:

    I really was not either. Looks like they used up everything that was left over and sitting on the shelf collecting dust. :D

    For thsoe that are saying they don't like the roof line.. What about it don't you like?
    If it was black you'd hardly see it, ( Challange car in 1st post )or is it the way it's cut around the door window??
    Maybe the little spoiler mounted to back of it??
    Without the roof line ( which includes the sloped windshield ) it'd be an R-56 just alittle shorter in length.. What fun is that..

    I gotta see it, sit in it, touch it, walk around it, and drive it, before I decide....:D

    X2. I am the same way... I have yet to see a flattering photo of it, so I am reserving judgement. :cornut:

    Doesn't need to be. It looks like the function is more directed at stabilzing the air off the back end of the car more than creating pure downforce.

    The hint of a an upswing is closer to the effect of the new/old spoilers used in NASCAR stock cars. (NOT the same but similar) Of course those same spoilers were blamed for the cars getting airborne in the more "energetic" collisions...:crazy:

    If we don't get the Coupe Challenge car in the US, I sure hope we at least get a Coupe GP.

    Most definitely photoshopped! Those are BMW 1M front bumper and wheels. That dude posts a lot of photoshopped cars over on 1addicts/bimmerpost.
    Looks awesome!
