well as vaughn said I've been around this car since it was bought. alot of the things people don't like are kind of the point of it.
Its a green colour concept, not peppermint green and in the flesh its quite a flat colour. Its been nicknamed 'concept 95' as its meant to be a 1995 style car, based on a colour concept, but with a modern kick up the ass! Hence, the ABT splitter, Azevs, Morettes etc etc. Its also now a VR6 instead of the 2ltr 8v it had originally. Carl got it as his other caddy project isn't going to make any shows this year so he wanted something to have a bit of fun with, take it to a few shows and get it talked about... its done all of those things!

My personal opinion is... I don't like it. I don't like the green, if it was the Porsche RS green, or a metallic it'd work better but in the flesh it is soooo flat. I do however love the massive block of colour and didn't like the wheels at first, but like them now they are on. I also love the offset grill badge and have always had a soft spot for DTM mirrors.
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post

Aaaah the guilty pleasure. Mines Mines those big wings you can buy in halfords but they can only go on certain cars and none of those are really dubs!

I used to run a colour coded white GL back in the day, looked just like this, minus the stance of course.
