It looks a bit like a missing link in the corvette family but nicer... It's just pleasing to look at

This car is awesome and it looks aggressive

Kenneth Williams Oct 02, 2011
That's would make a great screen saver

Andy Rogers Oct 02, 2011
Wow That's gorgeous! Love the color and everything

Gabriel Ramirez Oct 02, 2011
I freaking love that front. It's super nice.

Jared Palmer Oct 02, 2011
Very interesting. Reminds me of the Alfa's and Lamborghini's of the same time period; rolled hood, long bonnet, bulged fenders and exaggerated hood decorations.

The bulky muscle coming out of it makes it look very roughly American. But I love the whole uniqueness of it. One of my favourite articles for sure.

Description: Called the Spicup, a combination of a Spider/Coupe, it was noted for its futuristic design, but more importantly for its unique roof, which consisted of stainless steel panels that retracted in th...

Hey now don't dis the el camino

John Taylor Oct 02, 2011
When I read 'spicup' I was really hoping it wasn't anything like an el camino!

Shane Carroll Oct 02, 2011
Well I guess it's better than the Couder

What an unfortunate name.

Description: It was then used as a daily driver by its Dutch owner for 10 years. Powered by a 2.8-liter straight-six, the Spicup was eventually placed in storage for nearly 20 years before it resurfaced in 2008. I...

The name "Spicup" doesn't really make me want to own it anymore.

It looks like a sportscar up front but has a muscle stance... But it's a BMW and it's styled by an Italian... Just beautiful

I think it's really wierd, but also sexy and beautiful.

Miguel Blanco Oct 02, 2011
@Ariel I don't think it's ugly. I think it's beautiful.

Chris Bjorgolfsson Oct 02, 2011
Yah if you removed that roof thing it would be gorgeous, that front end was ahead of it's time I think.

Joseph Flieder Oct 02, 2011
Price has nothing to do with comments. If a smart car cost $1,000,000 I would say that it is the most expensive turd in history.

@Shane: I saw a green-coloured Prius yesterday. :P

Brenton Cozby Oct 02, 2011
the only thing i like is the paint job. why did they put the straight line down the entire length of the car...so boring

Shane Carroll Oct 02, 2011
Get rid of the roof thing and I'll take it. Carlie in what way is green bland? You don't see many green cars

Carlie George Oct 02, 2011
This is a bad design the proportions are completely off and the color is bland

Ariel Soto Del Valle Oct 02, 2011
Wow, just because they mentioned that the price was upwards of €400k people are being nice in their comments. I'll say what everyone is thinking - this is one Ugly mofo!!

Miguel Blanco Oct 02, 2011
I like the design but that's just me

Chris Bjorgolfsson Oct 02, 2011
The back is weird but the front looks better than any BMW I have seen aside from the M1.
