Nice.

But it's still just a Toyota.

On the other hand, if anyone has one they want to give away I guess I'll volunteer to house it.

Looks great on paper.   [evil]


But screams GT-R at first glance of the front.

The rear is a very nice view.

For $534k?  I'll take a Ferrari 458, a 911 GT2 RS, and a GTR for that cash.

Actually from the front it mostly reminds me of the 2001 Celica my wife used to have.
Sounds just a touch meaner though.  [cheeky]

I didn't say it was a cool looking car. Although, like DesmoDiva said, it is very reminiscent of the GTR. How bout something new?

And I wouldn't compare Ducati to Toyota. Toyota is more know for "sedan" style cars like the Carolla, Camry, and Avalon. Oh wait, they did have a Supra way back when.   ;)

Ducati:
Paso
900ss
749
999/s/r
1098
1198
SF/s
S4R/s
MH900

Not necessarily "sedan" style motorcycles.

Sleek look but the price is not worth the entry IMO.  I'd settle on a 1962 Shelby and have some cash left over for a Gallardo.

That's the European delivery price.

Several times in the video, the guy says $380,000.

Ugly. So many more beautiful cars for so much less jing.

End of story.

bodywork kinda looks like a goosed-up old ghetto-racer 240Z

and the throttle probably sticks

Makes a little more sense.  That's still really really stupid expensive for that thing.

God, could the graphics in that video have been any more overdone?

That was so annoying.

Agreed, cages can be cool but for 400k is pornographically expensive
