Hah! I never saw that. I like the front, don't care for the back. It's a little too "out" Rageous.

Well, they wanted as a cross between a sports car and a SUV. Fun yet functional?

I don't mind the back so much. The center console of the dash is a bit odd though.

Actually, if they toned down the wing a bit, the rear wouldn't look too bad. I do like the tailgate thing. Kind of reminds me of something that Hot Wheels would have come up with at one time or another.

I remember that car from 5-6 years ago at some auto show, I wanted it sooo badly, the seats had a five point harness and came out and you could hose them down, the trunk was a cooler. And it just looked sooooooo good. They need to stop show all these nice cars and taking them away.
