ewww it does

I don't "adore" the design, but I think it's quite attractive and not at all a copy of the Viper. It is, after all, built on the same platform and therefore has similar proportions, but none of the detailing says "Viper" to me.

This doesn't look like a copy of the Viper any more than the Sky is a copy of the Solstice, the new Audi supercar a copy of the Gallardo, the XLR a copy of the Corvette, the Phaeton a copy of the A8, etc.

You DO know which car came first, right? If one agrees that the cars look even remotely similar (which I don't), you have to recognize that you've got it backwards.

The inside is awsome! The outside ick. It looks like an austin martin/crossfire love child.

:spank: :spank: I realize what i posted after the fact, over looked the dates on that. But either way, i don't see the firepower as being uniquly original.

Its so Crossfire.

Not bad at all... now they just need stuff like this with MT for affordable prices.

I've liked the Firepower since it came out. I like the Aston looks with the Chrysler/vintage Ferrari eggcrate grille, and I've always loved the classic long nose front engine GTs. the interior is gorgeous, but not really practical for production with all that chrome ready to blind the driver when the sun hits it right...

And yeah, I like the art-deco detailing of the Crossfire, and the use of similar art deco forms here, though nothing translates between the two. The Firepower is much more curvy, and frankly, much more balanced. It also shares no styling with the Viper other than the general layout (front mid engine GT with a long nose, short deck).

i think it looks rad.
a bit aston martinish, but cool.
love the chromed interior

Looks like an uglified Aston Martin. The grill is hideous.

Also, when are American auto manufacturers going to finally realise that chrome wheels are outdated and tacky?
