    Sad. The reason no one takes American sports car makers seriously is because they produce crap that looks like this.

    Don't care about the looks enough to turn it down if the driver experience is excellent.

    I'm all for a clean car, and lowering for performance reasons, decent wheels, etc... but this "stance" crap sucks.

    But they've never been downright ugly like this.

    Looks like a weak attempt at making something pretty by a 12 year old designer taken WAY too far.

    I'd also include nice interiors and decent panel gaps as well.

    It looks like the design was adapted for a different wheelbase after it was completed.

    Well, that's rather unfortunate. It seems they were trying to copy a Morgan AeroMax and someone with a really big schnoz stepped in front of them.

    It looks like a two story house that needs to be a one story house. Horrible, especially from the side, where evidently they decided not to do anything at all. if the rounded the rear instead of ending at a point, channeled the whole body then took a level out of the front it might look alright, but it'll probab ly just end up looking like the GTLM car posted earlier.

    I never thought the Excelero would look better than anything but an Aztek, but it does now.

    they didn't get that right either, that's why they sold 3 maybe 4...

    panoz and good design continue their long tradition of going boldly their separate ways.
