the outside looks fantastic. I might tweak the front apron look a bit, if I were the designer, but that is a small thing.

AWD, and a transparent roof panel, and a red or blue paint job... FAN-Freakin-Tastic.

I do wonder why rear-engined, instead of mid-engined? Solely for interior and cargo space? compatibility with VAG's AWD systems for possible AWD option? (spun 180 degrees around...)

and then, why would the transaxle need an inversion drive? Just moving a FWD power unit to the back of the car would not require reversing the output of the transaxle...?]]>Mar 9th 2007 6:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/Mar 9th 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/Mar 9th 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/Mar 9th 2007 6:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/Mar 9th 2007 7:50PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/Mar 9th 2007 7:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/
and although it does have traits of other cars, porsche up front, ferrari in the back, and maybe a bit of aston martin in the C-pillar area...

it is pulled off as a unique design, and uniquely beautiful. Honda would do well to make an NSX look this good. Their recent coupe concept doesn't hold a candle to this.

I still think black alcantara-type upholstery would do much more to make the interior cozy, than hard, smooth red leather. The nav/entertainment screen might be motorized and tilt up, I dunno.

More than one center gauge would be welcomed... unless......... there is HUD that provides more information on the windscreen, like fuel level, and warnings for temperatures and pressures. A car that looks like a ground-bound jet could do worse than having a heads-up display.

As a devotee of gorgeous coupe sportscars; this, the Zagato Spyker, and the Opel GTC, and previous cars like the 8C competizione, are nice indicators that the european sports coupes are still alive and kicking, and still gorgeous, if a bit odd at times.]]>Mar 9th 2007 9:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/

The interior is... kit car. And I don't mean the talking Trans Am. Although a bunch of flashing lights stuck on a GM plastic fantastic IP would be just as terrible.]]>Mar 12th 2007 8:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/09/geneva-motor-show-artega-gt/http://www.passionautomobile.com/salon_de_geneve/artega.html]]>Apr 19th 2007 8:31AM
