There's so much more that I want to say about it that I won't.

I will say that I think it's hideous. They took the front end of the MGF/TF, added the grille from the original bugeye Sprite and schlemmed them between headlights from a Japanese cartoon.

All other things considered, I can't see why anyone would be excited about this car, not knowing anything about its performance statistics or maintenance record.

And if something goes horribly wrong, who do you get to sue? The Chinese government? Good luck.

Okay, I admit. I went ahead and said it.
