    If they ripped the rest of that roof off, they would have had a killer convertible model to offer the buyers :thumbs2:

    I've seen some pics of it before and yeah it's pretty hideous. I think this is the frat time I've seen the front end shot and the grille is actually pretty nice. It's also interesting what they did with the headlights/turn signals.

    The grille is probably the best looking part on the car.
