I'm just curious: does the average Chinese person look at this and say, "Pffft. That's an R8-F430 mashup disaster", or do they say, "Wow! The new Tong Jian S11! How do I get on the pre-order list?"
Romeo and Juliet fell in love despite the generations long feud between their families. Tong Jian has played Friar Laurence to the products of two warring supercar families. Something tells me there are some serious questions being asked in Ingolstadt and Maranello. We've already seen a few F430s commit suicide, too.
Why is Ford changing the styling for the North American market again? What's wrong with it? I know it'll be a minor change, mostly a bumper job. But this kind of crap makes me more angry than say, a totally new sheetmetal.
The last car to do that to me was... Saab 9-3 SportCombi. I went to the auto show thinking it'll have the crushed ice-effect taillamps that the European versions had, but noooooo. For some lameass reason, they had to have the clear red reflectors. Out of blinding rage, I slammed the taillamp of the US spec 9-3 SportCombi, prompting a poor Saab booth professional to rush to the car asking if everything was okay. Then I gave a long rant about how the 9-3 doesn't have the awesome crushed ice taillamps, which must have confused the dear girl. Sigh... I think that was the same year a Mitsubishi sales manager told me to get bigger aftermarket turbos on an Evo since we don't get FQ-400s here.
Well. I was vindicated though, since the later 9-3s all get crushed ice taillamps anyway.

That front end seems to have some Lambo in it, yeah?
