i didn't care for that grille on the Metroproject, don't like it here either. but i'm willing to overlook that because this thing is just so awesome.

and i'm all for it sounding like an R10... i've had a track of the R10 on a dyno on my iPod for a few years now. i should probably try playing that on the stereo (mono, really) in my car one day...

I think my favorite thing about this is that, in a pitch, it can run off of jet fuel.

If "high performance" diesels mean stupidly large ugly grills like this, count me out.

@weconway:
or how about this one?

And may this quote go along with it
"When I start my car I want the neighbors to think the world is coming to an end."

Yep, sounds like a diesel alright!

I just can't even comprehend what driving a car with that much torque must be like.

@Bumblebee: Maybe substitute "torque" for "vengeance".

@Package: Oh, it moved.

More cars should have hood decals like the Trans Am screaming chicken.

For instance, this car should have "...and they will know that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them" on the hood.

Wow. That looks and sounds exactly like the "Pick your car" scene in a typical driving game.

Next up: "Select Your Track"
(I'll take the Angeles Crest Highway)

@beercheck: Aside from the gaping maw, what I love about this car's "face" is the complete lack of "cheeks". I'm going to sound like a total nerd, but it reminds me a lot of the faces they tend to give robots in CGI these days.

Forgive the think, but the robot guys in this video kinda have that going on (go to 1:25):

I was kinda okay with it whan it was just Audi and maybe Suzuki, but now that Nissan and damned near everybody else has jumped on the bandwagon, I've had about enough of "Gaping Maw Syndrom" in new car design. Seriously.
