The front end reminds me of the old Smart Roadster

I actually think it looks pretty good in the rear 3/4 shot James has posted, agree there's something not quite right about the front lights, definately feels a little bit smart roadster from that angle.

I think the interior is lovely, really nice job, subtle and not overly modern looking.

As for the huge wheels and wide track, well surely that was always going to be the case when its on a cayman chassis, handling and braking would be massively reduced if they kept the narrow body of the originaly and fitted it with 5'5" wide rims and tiny discs.
