Not digging the name (it's usually preceded by "burned in" LOL) but the car is just waaaayyyy cool. Love to see it state-side. You think GM is hip enough to produce it?

Designers should go back to designing cars with personality. 

For a while the whole aero thing was to help compensate for engine design lagging behind and trying to eek out as much mileage as possible.  Now engine and alternative fuel engineering is making headway and we're stuck with lackluster looking, all very similar cars.

Where are all the "good" designers dead?  In the heart or in the head?

I'm just not diggin it.  I like the slammed look and chrome.  But to me it would be better flat black and a little rusty.:flame:

There's a reason it won Hot Rod of the Year. I *love* that car. The little details everywhere are just sick.

About the only complaint I would have is the guage cluster, or lack there of. I would like to see a more traditional buttstuffog style speedo, tach, and such. They could still make it high-tech looking by doing it with an LCD screen or something like that.

Very cool looking car though.

It looks mean as hell from the front! LMAO... the bumper looks like it's baring it's teeth.  Reminds me of the old gangster cars from the 20's.

Anyone wanna play Bonnie & Clyde?

No Global car company has the balls to produce something like the Efijy. Only Coachbuilders would even try. I remember reading about this car when it first hit the light, and knew then that it was just a way to gain some attention for Holden, with no plans to bring it to the public.

Now this is a cool throwback car that actually is being built, even if the interior is really nasty. It's like a cross between an 80's 911 and Peter Griffin's Phallic car.

From the front  it reminds me of the 49 Mercury.

Simply gorgeous. There's a hundred years of history in automaking; why do we all have to be limited to just the emasculated "let's not offend or intimidate anyone" set?
