Yeah, the pearl is so hard to muck up. I did that Mica Glacier whaterthehellitscalled on the whale as you may recall.

That'd be all fine and dandy if they hadn't so obviously tried to style it like a road car/track car hodge-podge. If it looked like it had been purpose built then we'd leave it alone, but it doesn't.

You may well look at the Viper ACR and go all wet but me I'm sorry but I think it looks just as awful as the Gumpert but in a different way.

Vulgarity?! Obviously you don't have to like it, but why exactly is it vulgar? It's a pure driving machine. No excessive electronic nanny's to keep you in check, very few creature comforts, etc.
edit: Why are you bringing the PT into this and how the hell is it vulgar? Is this going to turn into a US bashing thread?
