Default Saturn WRC?

Holy crap this thing is ugly. There are a few nice design touches, but over all i just don't get it. White wheels on a silver car is the worst rookie mistake you can make!





What do you guys think? Can GM field a rally team?

more pics can be found on a Saturn Forum:Saturnfans

I don't think it looks that bad.......I think they really improved that horrible car.....if that's possible.

The c-west RSX has white wheels on a silver car.....they're not rookies.

Looks OK. Most WRC car are not that great looking. They all look OK. But the whole point about those cars are form over function, right? So unless it has the performance of at least an EVO, it has nothing going for it.

Form follows function my ass:



I guess that stereo helps with weight reduction or something.

How many race cars do you see that have stereo? Obviously, either this is not a WRC car or GM is just plain old dumb.

No, I'm with Adrock...that is God-awful hideous. The entire front end and the terrible looking exhausts are definetly not cool.

No. It's a Concept, not a rally car.
