... and it was very cool.

Well, it looked cool. As sports cars go, it was a dog. It had 2 major flaws; overweight & underpowered.

That said, I wish this new endeavour good luck.

Yes, but it’s the only car that has enough stainless steel in its body to assist the Flux Capacitor achieve time travel.

Nonsense, it isn’t heavy, though I agree the engine isn’t big. It’s pretty sprightly, and corners like a dream.

Yeah, that was my impression as well. Interesting, distinctive appearance - but slower than many 4-cylinder economy cars. This endeavor better start with a much healthier engine (and probably a more rugged transaxle, too).

The car's interior had poor ergonomics and was cramped, too - at least for my 6'1" frame.

I'm wondering whether this will be enough of a "new" car to mandate use of passive restraint systems and OBD-II compliance. Anyone know how the Avanti (former Studebaker Avanti) guys dealt with the those issues?
