    Check out this abomination of the MR-S (MkIII). Funny thing - they probably will find a bunch of people to pony up the $8K for the "coachwork" + install.

    Seems this kit car manufacturer specializes in turning those Ponitac Fieros (remember those, 1984-1988 mid engine design from GM performance division - a good idea, bad implemention). Into Lamborghini Countach knock offs - some putting up some decent numbers with V8 swaps for the GM "Iron Duke" 4 banger or V6.

    I like the idea of what appears to be a wide body kit - but the front end is little wacko for me (looks too long, weird head lamp assemblies) - the rear looks like it was unfinished (too high and lopped off).

    The original had a nice, compact package. But it is "unique" other than the Nissan tail lamps.

    Agreed...if they wanted an exotic look they should have stolen something that looked exotic. Like the rear lights out of an R34...

    It looks like they built the car using nothing but Pep Boys merchandise.

    Uttery hideous.
