Sorry to interrupt, but I come to this website to keep my mind away from all the crisis and all. But when I come here, I see this forum has been converted to a business review forum.

From a personal perspective, I think those are the kinds of things that has made this forum so incredibly special. TM |

 I like it... so far. For whatever reason, the Jaguar XF comes to mind, even though there are many differences, it has that "look" about it. link title There will be more "official" pics later today, after the official debut. TM

Replying to: scottphillip (Mar 26, 2009 11:56 am) I guess if I was to bet, I'd say yes. They've delivered over 250 roadsters so far. There is maybe that small chance they sell the model rights to another company... say, Chrysler, for example... although I doubt they could afford to do much right now. TM |

a tad on the generic side, IMO. Very much in the current sedan school, which lately seems to have only the four-door "coupe" styling school as differentiation, slight though that may be. But it is very nice looking from that shot. I like a little more distinction between the brands, personally. Probably has a little something to do with why the TTS hooked me so soundly...

Replying to: tagman (Mar 26, 2009 1:10 pm) We'll have to see if they are still around in 2011, when production on the sedan is supposed to start. Tesla has serious money problems, they basically can't survive without a cash infusion from the government. An electric E and 5 fighter is also a very different animal from what is essentially an Elise with thousands of notebook batteries shoved into it. I also think the giant touch screen center stack is a big mistake. They should remember the digital dashes of the '80s, and why those aren't around anymore. The general interior design also seems to be a near carbon copy of the A6, right down to the Audi parts bin headlight switch. Is there something I'm missing here?
