...spent a lot of time looking at this, and I think I have found out what is visually unappealing about the car ( at least IMHO).

They have lost the "shoulder/hip" classic theme of the original Cobra by flattening the front fender-tops across the hood...and rendering what looks like square doors.

I think the whole look would go a level up if the doors had a slight dip to the rear. (..anyone with Photoshop and some time want to make a 'tweak'?... Buzz?).. and the front fender-tops had some roll to them.

The new mechanics and the rear transmission is appropriate.
The looks are mediocre... too many stylists in Detroit apparently went to the same design school as the Import stylists.
