I think the car looks fab in that colour. I have seen it in red and from certain angles it looks awkward, but in silver....great!
Its also priced bellow 150k to so will be a rival for Maclaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Great news in a few years time when they fall bellow 90-100k.
This has to be one of the great years for exotic metal.
