i love the interior. the only pictures ive seen of the gtx1 so far have been released by the company and man they use rims that are so ugly they ruin the entire car. I saw that one pic and thought the whole car was ugly. BUt damn, with those rims and that paint it looks even better than the coupe now! i dont see the point in having t-tops as well as a targa though

EDIT:
heres a pic of the ugly car im talkin about
http://www.drivingfuture.com/auto/fo...0000003j8x.jpg

heres a pic of the roof
http://news.caradisiac.com/IMG/jpg/Ford-GTX1-6.jpg

and for those of you that didn't know, heres a pic that shows the t-tops. Here they are simply popped like an 80's styled sun roof. Like a Fiero. But they actually come all the way off too.
http://www.gtx1.com/webimg/sidesopnback.JPG

me, id rather have a simple targa. If they really wanted to incorporate the whole pop the roof without removing it thing, they should have done a sun roof. Who is really going to take off the t tops when the whole roof comes off? It isn't as good looking and its twice as much work to take off two tops instead of one. I think this is incredibly pointless as well as stupid. But the rest of the car is amazing!! i was planning on buying an Audi R8 when they come out but ill have to wait and see between this one and the audi. Ill probably still get the audi though, i just wish the top came off
