"Squirrel Mincer" :lol:

Prodrive says they wont build it (but they "could" for about $60k)
rumors are floating that Subaru may pick it up as the next SVX, but I doubt that subaru will ever try to sell a $60k car

heh, that's pretty neat! But so are a bunch of cars we'll never see... sigh.... :?

wow a new car that is 2400lbs... i'm in love.

Gordon Murray designed it? I'll take two. Actually, I didn't know he was working for Prodrive, I know he left McLaren though.

It seems about high time Prodrive did their own one off car, but then again they are about to get into Formula 1 so this might not be a great time to do it because running a F1 team is going to take a shitload of capital.

neat car, at first i thought it was hideous but after seeing it from all angles in that top gear blurb i think i dig it. i love it when manufacturers come out with a sub 2500 pound car! fight the good fight!
