Ok, I was shocked to see this. But here it is.

On a design basis, I don't know how to feel. I think it looks like the hideous new eclipse. And I would hate for tiburons to look like eclipses, especially the new ones. I just don't know how to react to this. Where did the sexy curves go?
Why are ALL companies putting their windshields so far up front!! This does not look like the HCD8 at all! I think the HCD 8 is a potentially aggressive looking car in the sense that the windshield are more far back than on most normal cars. I have a severe problem with this. The RSX, the new Civics, the new Eclipse, the new Beetle all have their windshields up front. It's hideous! I like the Corvette, Ferrari, Porsche, muscle car look and something is missing here. I will not know how to feel. The front looks like a truck
It looks like a Chrysler Crossfire. Yuck. I didn't know sharks had bends. But I know sharks have scars.

You know what car reminds me of a GK everytime I see it, the Scion tC! and this tib just makes the resemblance all the more noticable.

I think it looks friggin sweet.
Harkens me back to the RD1 for the headlights, the sides remind me of the RD's in general, the front fogs and such look like they'd fit my car.
I'd pimp it.

I would buy it.. and I prefer the RD to the RD2 AND the GK... but there is something germanic about this concept art that looks aggressive and efficent. Like there are no extra lines drawn into the body that the car does not need.
