Plus even if it does seem like its built by committee, the blueprint they followed was the first gen, so unless they drastically changed something about the car, it doesn't seem like it'll stray too far off what the first gen represented.

I just use the designed by committee end of things to explain my personal dislike of the disjointed styling not as a condemnation of the overall results.

Yes driving will be the tell tale for each individual. Certainly not the end all for overall judgement though since if I went by all the early video reviews of the 13 I would never have even bought the car back then since it is so slow, the torque drops off into negative numbers, you can't hear yourself think for the noise, the tries slide around al the time and overall it should have been an $18,000 car!
There is so much we don't know but based on the marketing hype and very limited stats we have seen I am confident that my thoughts will be verified. At least to me.
You really need to visit the paper racer heaven "bestest engine ever ever builded" thread for a fun time!
