Just curious.
Haven't seen a real one yet, so I will hold my comments on the looks. With me it failed at the concept stage. Compared to the E70, it has been reported to be bigger outside, and smaller inside. While I am sure it will have sufficient power, I don't find big heavy vehicles to be sporty (Colin Chapman fan here). It seems to be more of a lifestyle, or image vehicle, IMO, not an heir to the title of ultimate driving machine. But then I like inline 6 engines over V8s as well.
