    Which is hilarious.
    My new build, technically, is a 4-seater. Though it will never have a back seat installed.

    It gets my attention but not in a good way. If the Superleggera looks like a catfish then this is a large mouth bass... Looks like they used the same template to cut out the rear diffuser as the front grille... Close the grille mouth some and I could really like it...

    I took another look, and I really like that the white, racier version of this car is not fitted with stupid ultra-low profile tires and huge wheels. It has tires that actually have a side profile and THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE OF THAT. :D

    It's really time for this juvenile fascination of ever bigger and bigger wheels to come to an end. Wheels need to be big enough to clear brake and suspension components, no bigger.

    FR-S and a MINI Superleggera.

    I still like it.

    Small, light, focused cars get my attention.

    2+2 classification is only for insurance purposes. Roadsters have higher insurance rates.

    It reminds me a lot of an Opel GT. Even so I think it's sort-a cool and would certainly warrant a second look if and when it was ever made.

    Kinda ironic what they are calling this car. S-FR.. From the side view it looks kinda like a FR-S

    It's kind of MINI looking from the front.

    I like it. I think it would look better in a darker color so the 'face' is less noticeable.

    I used to have a Miata (several actually) and I really enjoyed the car with the hardtop on, more than with the top down. (I know, this is heresy to convertible lovers)

    With the hardtop on, was more of a cozy, intimate cabin that way. This car seems like it would have the same effect.

    I agree with you on the color. That safety yellow/slime green does nothing for that car. Wonder if that will see production.
