Crown Victor Victoria's post reminded me of how much I like this thing. It may not be pretty by grownup standards but channel your inner kid and admit that when you were 4-5 years old you would of went nuts for something like this.

I for one can channel my inner younger self and I love it. 10/10 would daily drive without shame. If this was available for 30-35K I'd buy one. I understand I would probably be the only person to buy one but I don't care.

seeing this part of the car makes me cringe. It's like a DeLorean had a botched up plastic surgery.

You should have no shame about your vehicle choices, (I got very close to buying my car in pink) but that thing looks like it was dropped into a vat of fibreglass.

It started life as a Delorean. Supposed to be a Concept to make it into a production car but Will.I.Am is a big liar and that was never true. It's a one off custom did by West Coast Customs that Will so called Am was telling everyone he was starting a car company to save detroit and build it.

Something drastic needs to happen to those headlights.

A yes, now it makes sense.

Hahaha. I think my biggest problem with the car is not even the state of the car itself, but that Will.i.am misrepresents it and himself as profound and meaningful in the automotive world.

There is no innovation here. It's a bad bodykit on an interesting old car with a bigger engine thrown in, with all work done by West Coast Customs.

were it driven aggressively, and sliding sideways in a billowing cloud of smoke, I think we'd all love its looks too

I'd rather have a DeLorean that still looks like a DeLorean.

I get it. Honestly, it looks like a cartoon of a car, or a generic video game exotic car (like something from a GTA game). The thing is basically a caricature of itself. And you're right, to my inner child, that is awesome.

I think 98% of the hate is more about how Will.i.am's misrepresentation of the the project.

Ahhhh now I remember. Politics aside, it is a pretty neat concept. Though, it looks like it's trying to be an Esprit. Just buy the rights from Lotus and build 'em! You get to save the Esprit AND Detroit! haha

I agree. I kinda like it myself.

I completely agree. To go on the holy grail of car shows(Top Gear UK) and flog this as going to change the industry and create thousands of jobs when absolutely nothing of that is true is a total crap chute move but the car it self I like.

You might be right as to why the hate. That was a pretty bullshit move on "Will so called I Am". If it's a one off custom present it as such then it's no problem.

I have no problem with the car. I do have a problem with William saying he designed it. John De Loren designed it! But yes, I would rock it!

I hate you for making me admit I like it too. I feel all the shames.
