The saleen is ok except for the 80's style grill, the taillights, and spoiler. The stance is awesome but there is too much going on, there is no focal point. I guess I like something a little more subtle. I also care more about how it runs and not so much how it looks.

Better stance? How could it be any better? The car is low and level. Perfect in my eyes. And the wheels look very up-market. Glad they didn't put some dorky ghetto chrome-jobs on it. But I can understand that the wheels might be polarizing. I for one love them, wouldn't change them a bit. Thank god there's no scoop. Saleen has historically gone for for twin air exit vnnts on their top-line hoods, like on the S-351, which is much more classy and functional. When you start trying to sell a car to people who are shelling out $40K-60K plus, those folks don't go for hood scoops, IMHO. I don't see the Town Car resemblance at all I'm afraid. But then again, there was somebody on here who tried to compare the new Mustang to a Chrysler.... I'm all about clean and crisp, but I never expect Saleen to go subtle. So being realistic and keeping in context, I think they hit it out of the park.All the car needs is better wheels and a better stance
