what's the price tag for it? 50k?

Neat car. Not to big on the white highlights, but otherwise it is kind of cool. I like most of these new "little" roadsters that have been coming out.

looks a lot like an SLK, which isn't surprising.

The front end is stodgy, taking retro too far, and the rear end is grotesque.

HUH??? Where the heck do you see ANYTHING that looks like an SLK in that pic? :Q It's a very distinctive shape. The SLK is a slab-sided blah

I think it looks pretty cool. First impressions:

1. If you squint, it looks like a Porsche in the first shot. First thing I saw.
2. That grill = bad looking. I know they have to brand it, but that grille is just fugly.
3. those fake exaust ports for the brakes with the silvery fan detail. Those have to go.
4. Tire/wheel combo look too large. Car should sit lower.

Other than that, it looks sweet as hell!

<edit>
Really, the only thing that scares me is that grille. The XLR designers did a much better job marrying the chrysler grille and car body style.
