CF won't make it

IMO it was stupid to integrate the design of othe sweeping headlamp with the 2 front lateral openings. It looked great on the computer rendition, and it was tolerable on the concept with the CF -- but anybody else realize that the carbon fiber there won't likely make it to production? This means you end up with cheap black plastic all over the front bumper

looks like a cobalt from the back, god knows what from the front and sad from the side..i am very disappointed..i had tons of hope with this cars design..i guess i will wait for version 2 of this design..

the sketch looksed soo mcuh better..but the execution is poor...


plus the G looks soo much better, much rather spend the extra 20-30 on the G to make it more exotic with a wide body kit , some CF and a stroker kit with tons of HP..

I was referring to the pictures on www.gtrproto.com

since in the "how about these" pictures that you posted you can't even SEE the front to see if it is indeed CF or not.

Just go ahead & say it .... the car is fugly.
Looks like they pulled aspects of Audi, the 'stang, ever so slight attempt @ the Gcoupe and something that resembles a 'vette (?) rearend.
The poor car's a bastard child.... better have hella power to overcome those hurdles, but I'm not even sure that would help.

Well I don't care what people say, I think it looks sick azz fook. Also, why are people comparing the rear to the cobalt when the Skyline had that style for years. It also stays true to the Skyline heritage. If anything the cobalt looks like the Skyline.

You do realize that "Audi grill" was on the GT-R concept back in 2001, right? Which part of the Mustang are you referring to? The backend is a Skyline trademark which started in 1957.

being touched by photosho and computer rendering is totally different things

also, maybe you are blind, if you cant see the carbon fiber, then you should get ur eyes examine.
