Hot.
 
Two things:

1. It is unique. I like that. Back window is a bit odd but I could easily get used to that if the car performs as well as the lines indicate. Nice.

2. I note the left hand drive... The plate indicates the picture has not been mirrored.

The weakened dollar means that something like this might get priced out of reach compared to a comparably performing domestic. That also means the big 3 could get into building some really nice cars that will compete well with the foreign nameplates and be attractively priced by comparison.

Looks like a cockroach. Mazda SUV meets ugly Mercedes and, as mentioned, Chyrsler Crossfire.

I see the Crossfire. I also see some Bentley Continental and Dodge Magnum.

While not a fan of the Xfire, I do like the heavy hitter from Crewe and the Cartoonish wagon.

Most Saturns can DIRECTLY trace lines back to Opels in Europe. Look at the SKY... Same as a Pontiac right? well yes. but looky here..
