I think it looks great. Saw a couple at the Everything Electric show.

But I'm biased, I wanted a R5 GT turbo back in the late 1980's, brilliant fun on a test drive, but couldn't afford the insurance, and got a V8 Trans-Am instead. So I've always had a soft spot for them. No idea if they are any good, but the package and price seems reasonable.

It's certainly bigger than the original R5, but then all cars are bigger than they used to be!
