How post-modern is that?

Another craptastic Fisker variation. Really. I like the elongated, phallic thing. But this. The sides are stolen from a Mercedes. Over-exaggerated Aston-Martin front grille. Ridiculously deep headlight wells. I like the extremely angled windshield and side-window design. But really. Beyond looks, does this car perform? This argument was discussed on the Maserati Gran Turismo review. At this price point, and at this economy you need more than looks to sell this. Right? Am I wrong? I like, and really want, Aston Martin to have a reputation and air akin to pronouncing Porsche when discussing automobiles. But it doesn't expose austere like Porsche does. Or Lamborghini. It's usually met with a nod and apathetic discourse.
i'm just glad they finally clicked onto how to design the taillights to give the proper effect of what they were after. sticking a body colour piece of plastic on taillights just looks cheap (current S-Class, facelift 406 sedan etc)
This is way more than a Reventon "body job". The One-77 will have a 7.3L V12 which is dramtically 25% lighter than the 6.0L V12 is starts out from. Power is 700bhp. This is a supercar in every sense of the word.
Wait till you see this 1-77 from rear 3/4 view....I honestly could not tell it apart from the Fisker when I saw it yesterday. Unbelievable similarity...
