Disagree, while super long hood is also not good, MF layout looks much better than MR layout in most cases. Sitting in front of the car and the "FWD" front overhang just doesn't look good. Best example of ugly MR profile is the LaFerrari. That thing is just so fugly, despite good design cues.

Honestly, I don't know anyone who prefers an M/F layout. You're the first.

I like my supercars to look like supercars, not grand tourers.

Come on folks

Can't we just enjoy each product for what it is

The LFA and FT-1 are front engine based and will look different than a mid engine based ride

The good thing here as I have been saying is that unicorns do exist and they come from Ohio

A sign of the upcoming Presidential elections?

Supposedly 1000 units a year. It could have changed between then and now though.

BTW, M/F is mid-engine front wheel drive.

Whats the expected price on these????? Prob 100k +

It looks nice and all but why would somebody buy this over a Porsche 911, Audi R8, new MB GT, BMW i8 etc.

This is not 1990 where there were no such thing as reliable supercars.

Viper, SLS AMG, AMG GT, RX-7, and so on. SLS AMG Gullwing is the real definition of FR, IMO.
