After you crash in one while chasing your own stolen car, you like it less... I still like them

It's actually a damn good car, very fast for its day (even though today an RS Focus should be able to beat it in a straight line).
Watching that Top Gear episode actually supported my view that I was a bit weird!
But looking at that pic MidEngine4Life....how can you not like that?!

I see a lot of Lotus Elise S2 – especially in the windscreen and the B-pillar design
Looks even better with (photoshopped) BBS wheels

It is big – if they made it 9/10ths size, it would be just right

Of course. I was being sarcastic.
Hence
There was a rumor of a Carrera GT replacement few years back, but in a lower down market. Perhaps this is a preview.

Porsche 918 Hybrid - Pics and Video.
Sounds like they ARE going to build it!
718 combined horsepower, rumored to lap the 'Ring faster than a Carrera GT!

Rumor has it the 918 is having a VERY difficult time getting pre-order deposits in. $800,000 is a lot harder to swallow than the 450k +- the CGT was.

Not to mention the car hasn't really shown us anything to get excited about.
