I realize manufacturers like to stay true to their roots and traditions, but some design traits just don't carry over well in this day and age.

Personally, I don't think gullwing doors ever looked good.

Are you sure those are photos and not Photochops?

Front looks like a Pontiac Solstice with the SL grill slapped on. Back looks like a.. Z8?

No need to freak out now, since the production car probably won't look like that.

It's not going to look like that, similar but a bit more modernized.

for such a classic,they should have gone more retro with the design on the front imo... just doesnt match with the rest of the car

but yeah, will hold judgment until the production model comes out.

Does anyone have source backing that in-fact the SLS IS the replacement for the SLR?

Cause the SLR seems to be in the super car realm while this SLS is a modern day remake of the SL Gullwing classic.
