It looks a touch busy, and very "inspired" by other vehicles.

[Shane]

The Mullen Electric should be a very interesting car.  

[Rupert]

That's is sure a... unique style there.

[BMWDave]

It looks frankly hideous, IMO.  I see a lot of botched Koenigsegg design in there.

[SVT666]

Wow.  I'm speechless.  That's one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen.

[mazda6er]

Yeah, this really looks like something that was dreamt up on a computer and never should have actually been made.

[Raza]

Yeah, there's just too much going on here.  Cuts and sweeps and vents and intakes...sure it's fast, but other cars are fast too.

I imagine fast for the price is what they'll push.  

[Raza]

Still, if I'm going to spend seventy thousand, I'd want something that doesn't look like an aborted Fiero conversion.

[Catman]

They should call it the "Mullet".  Hideous.

[giant_mtb]

Looks like a piece of shit that I ejected from myself yesterday...except red with chrome and plastic.

[Shane]

I like it....so refreshing in a sea of mediocre, bland cars...it has some character.  I appreciate it for that.  I hope they do well.  You can never have enough small, independent American car makers.  

[omicron]

Oh they didn't. Please tell me they didn't. Surely no-one would be THAT stupid....

If you rotate the original photo....



Now compare that to this:



If one is going to manufacture a sports car that is supposed to have some credibility, WHY ON EARTH DO YOU USE THE SAME TAIL LIGHTS AS AN OPEL CORSA/HOLDEN BARINA???????????????



This amuses me greatly.    

[Shane]

Like anybody knows about a Euro Opel.  Many small manufacturers have used things like tailights, dashes, engines, door handles etc from other makers to keep costs down.  No different than say, the last generation Dodge Durgano using Dodge Caravan tailights.  This is a small company trying to keep the price of their cars reasonable.

LOL, that's better than the Morgan Aero 8's Beetle headlights.
