Those huge head lamps, would easily add at least a few precious kilograms much needed to be discarded for a front engined, front wheel drive cheap adn fun to drive roadster. LEDs are so abundant now at cheaper prices that manufacturers without much family looks (or heritage) to worry about should seriously consider. They save weight, power, better illumination and best of all, allows huge flexibility in designing headlamps and rear lamps which affects the overall looks of a car in a huge degree. Such concepts coming out in year 2007 for a manufacturer that's doing very well recently, and one that wants to conquer european market is, sad to say, boring. Was it year 1997?

The front headlamps is much bigger than the grill. Second look, it looks like a baby Bugati Veyron. Looks like a little hog. The front headlamps is much bigger than the grill.
