Don't mind it from the side profile pic, rest is ugly.

I was at the private unveiling of the car here in Montreal back in September, it looks decent from front and side angles but from any rear angle it goes horribly wrong...

Some pictures i took:

I think this Plethore is one of the most exciting new designs I have seen in a long time. The driver position is probably the most advanced of any modern sports car in the world. Look how forward the driver is positioned. His knees are as forward as the front axles!! It is this forward type driving location that is so characteristic in the best handling cars ever made. Look at the R8 and Lotus Exige. And this is even more forward and lower. Its like looking straight down to the road from atop the front tires! I have no idea what car you guys are seeing, but love it or hate it, this is a car of new and unique design.

The location of the car's heaviest load, the engine, is positioned in a true mid-body location.

Visually the only thing I would change is to make the front hood/bonnet, smooth. I completely love that roof line.

I have absolutely no dog in this fight about if this car is a success. But I have seen no new supercar in the last 5 years that represents such new and fresh design elements. I look forward to seeing the serious track data on this car and its new design features. Until then I readily applaud the HTT designers.

I'm not defending this car, as I don't much care for it either. But it can't be considered a rip-off of the new Mclaren or the Ultimate Aero as this car has been around in different forms for almost a decade now I think.
