I think it's a very nice way to get both ends of the spectrum closer together. On one end people want a heavy, substantial, safe feeling vehicle...but on the other end of the spectrum they also want something tossable, responsive, with good turn-in. This car somehow gets all of that done. It's heavy (that's a fact) yet it hides it very well. Like a fat girl wearing vertical stripes and a corset.
It's got blistering performance of cars that would cost you both arms and legs yet it comes in around the price of the new Z06; which currently is revered as the best bang for the buck. Yet with all this performance you still get a back seat and a trunk the size of a black hole.
This car is perfect.

When you consider the combination of performance, drivability, utility, price point, technology and comfort this could possibly be the best car ever made.

Technically, its the most impressive car, but its still shit ugly. I'd buy something easier on the eyes for that kind of money.

I thought so too but after seeing it in person my mind was changed. Very substantial looking car. Besides there is not a damn thing even close at that price point performance wise.
