    I say fake, not "Replica", because I have a lot of trouble with what this company is doing: At one point they say that they did not use a Toyota MR2 platform because the dimensions are so different that they could not fool any but the people who know absolutely nothing about the authentic 360. Then they say that the phony 360 they do produce has four seats and the engine in front. (Sure, THAT should fool people!) It would appear that these people actually ARE excellent craftsmen, so it's hard not to admire them in the grudging way we might admire a successful bank robber or counterfeiter - but why not put their talents into developing an original car that is admirable in its own right - like, say, the Noble - rather than into plagiarism?

    well that's the perfect car for anyone w/ a 360 that complains about the fuel economy! lol I agree with the "fake" not "replica." the body work is alright i guess but at the end of the day is an FWD economy car, wtf?? I wouldn't be caught dead in that poser thing.

    Good point Bradley. I am not a huge fan of the Noble, but at least it's an original. Another example would be the Ariel Atom, I suppose it is easier to be licensened at as kit car manufacturer than a stand alone auto producer though.
