Looks so freaking amazing! as much as I like the color black, I'll probably end up with that silver color. I have'nt seen the car myself, but I'll just take your word for it.

I absoluetly love how the silver concept looks. The lines are awesome, the stance is awesome, even the color looks great. I'm hoping they can do an old-school RS type grille to hide the headlights, but that's me. I will own one of these things, and mine will be in black.

Not really sure about that one....I like 'Bumblebee' from the Transformer movie better. Not really feeling the back end of it either. If they would just start building them from the first Gen back up then it'd be all good. Everything is starting to have that 'Space Age' look to it, can't see how that many people actually like that sort of stuff.

That is definitely not the production version...they were still showing the concept as well at the NAIAS. I'll reserve my comments until more pictures of the real version start showing up...

Thanks for sharing the pics!

I'll have to wait and see what the production car looks like before I comment on it! The concept is Definitely Smokin' though!
