What happens when you cross-breed a Dodge Ram Pick-up with a Chevrolet SSR.  They should've adopted.

[@re]

I totally agree! 

The people behind this car actually plan on limited production - with an annual output that you can count on one hand. But who on earth will buy something like this? Though I have to admit - this is probably the car's least flattering angle.

Edit: Then again, after having studied it from different angles, I have to say it's pretty challenging no matter how you look at it. Maybe the view from inside is nice?

And another little thing: You mention Dodge Ram and Chevy SSR - but this is probably not what they would spawn, unless there was a mutation. This has a different body style!

[Tuckeroo]

Not a pick-up, then?  Oh dear, they might've gotten away with that front end if it was.  Not to mention that a Confederate Flag in the right place would've provided a good diversion from the rest of it - though I do believe the Southern States have a greater amount of self-respect.

So, if it's a different body style I'll take another cheap shot at it and call it the 2007 Ostentainne Opera Sedan Bruce Baldwin Mohs 40th Anniversary Tribute Edition and try to ignore the depths to which the retro craze has sunk in digging up the past for inspiration:

See also the "Safarikar."  Or not.

PS-I always wind up rooting for the underdog, so this car will probably grow on me.  *shudder*  New poll topic: if a car were to actually grow on you, what would you want it to be?

This is the Gonswa RP1( BMW Z3-based!) Coupé

Sorry, not a Mohs  (but they're similarly hideous!)

But yes, it is the (German!) Gonswa RP1. And as you can see, it's quite... um... shall we say 'unique' from any angle.

A point to Grobmotorix, then!

Edit: And as for Tuckeroo's question... well, I'm not going to get all infantile here. But I know a cheap point when I see one, so when it comes to 'growing', I'd guess that some people would find this appropriate (after all, it's very fast, and it is very aptly named...) :

[Tuckeroo]

I - dare I say it - "withdraw" the question.

[@re]

Probably a good idea.

Where is Otto's #1467?

[Otto Puzzell]

He removed it.

Another AP member (Arunas) commented that it was a re-post. I had the car listed under another name, replete with a front license tag showing that name. Not being able to corroborate that other name was correct, I took the puzzle down.
