I admire Saleen and they make great muscle cars and superb straight-line speed cars. I just don't think their engineers can create a suspension setup worthy of a car that looks like this. Compact, aggressive. You'd expect it to go around corners like an F430, but you know it won't.
There also appear to be a few... Erm... Well, look, there are certain images that do not flatter this car. Like the ones where the body panels look mismatched and loose. Not a good thing.
The rear lights are cute, attempting the European style of LED lamps, but the cluster-lamps on this thing look tacky and second-rate. They're not neat and clear like on an Audi, they're not really accentuating the shape, more just... Well, being a cluster of lights in the fashion of the sort you put on a Christmas tree.
It's definitely pretty though, probably the first American car to attempt a sensible European style for a sportscar. For that it gets the thumbs up from me ^_^

Well, the S7 was definitely NOT a straight line car, and was capable of excellent handling, especially in race trim. I have no doubts the S5S will handle well if they decide to produce it.
