    I think it's beautiful, but insurance premiums may kill it.

    So that's what happens when you leave a 1970 Plymouth Superbird alone with a 2011 Lincoln MKT.

    Moving on...

    Ugly! In that case, I'd buy the hybrid Corolla. even with the Darth Vader mask grille.

    Me too.

    Plus any sci-fi film set in the "not too distant future" will use them. :)

    Still tickles me that Blade Runner was set two months ago. At least they predicted the fires?

    Hey, at least we can all agree that the electroluminescent laces on the wheels and striping on the sharkfin are a tasteful evolution of the z-lamp taillights recently seen behind the 4th generation car.

    Well if it gets 160 MPG, I'd kick the tires.

    Interesting. I always did like fins. Except for cleaning snow off. But that one running down the top of the rear window, jeez. Trying to be the batmobile? Those neon lights are just weird, especially the active display on the front facade. It actually looks better than the Prime does now though. At 160 MPG (Bob!) I'd drive one too, but I think I'd need photon torpedoes to dispel ridicule in traffic.

    Was that an active grill lowering, getting ready to suck up dirty water from puddles? That needs to be thought out a bit more...

    Hey now, you could probably fit a spare tire or two in that fin...
