Judging looks by a very early prototype where virtually the entire car is still covered up?? C'mon now... like you said, 'too early to tell.'

Never ceases to amaze me what people pick to complain about.

I can't wait until someone gets some audio so we can more accurately guess what's under the hood.

Judging on a covered up test mule on a car that will be released in about 3-4 yrs??? LOL

I know it is an early prototype, but where is the power dome?

I hope those mirrors don't make it to production. I realize they will be mandated in the future but most other companies manage to make themn look a lot better.
