Matte black accents look cheap. I see the same problem on the MC Corse models coming out for Maserati. It does not allow the design to flow and chops it up. If it's not real carbon fiber, either keep the black to a minimum or get it painted to match the car. I have never been a fan of that - but then again I do not like wild multi color paint jobs or anything of that nature.
Thanks for the pics! It's nice to see in the flesh.

The wing is the worst part. Besides for the price tag.

Probably a smart business model in this economy not to be holding 5+mill in cars that wont sell for a year no?

While I probably agree with you, no inventory = no income guaranteed. Still have fixed costs to cover. They need SOMETHING (assuming they do not take new orders?) and I wonder if financial arrangements can be altered while they finance the cars in their inventory.

I just like the new engine cover. The rest I'm still not feeling.

I'm pretty sure the Koenigsegg they had was sent to Symbolic or somewhere in CA but I find it hard to believe they could sell everything else down there and not replace the inventory.

They still have a location off the strip. They're also affiliated with Silicon Valley Auto Group, so a lot of the inventory is the same and is rotated.
