How is a V12 wagon possibly a bad thing? Are you crazy?
i wouldn't really call that a wagon though...to me, it more resembles a 2 door version of the Mazda 3 Sport (hatch)...wagons are useful and practical...this thing is none of that.

I believe it's called a breadvan

Thats a wagon in the same way an electric smart car is a real car. I'm sure its beast to drive and sounds fantastic but that shape and color

Lighten up Francis.....

The Ferrari is Euro Trash
The Caddy is American Trash
The Mercedes is from someone trying to deny being Euro Trash

Walking with Mrs. Railton and the dogs tonight along Lakeshore Drive and a new GT40 Heritage Edition drives by. It was quieter than I thought it would be.
Looked exactly like this one in Gulf Colors.

^ Looks good but they really should have put the flat-plane V8 in there ftw.  I'm saving my money for the second gen.  ;D

Wow, amazing car.

Doesn't need a V8 at all, it's great new tech, and probably better for the environment.
