that is one awesome looking car. question though... those headlights, are they street legal, the color emitted?

First thought: Xenon, so def yes.

Second thought: Normal lamp with blue effect, also legal (in Europe)

I don't like the front grille and bumper. The grille is too small for the size of that car, and i dont like how the front bumper comes to a point like that. Everything else about the car screams sex appeal though! too bad the front end looks like an acura 1.7 mixed with that ugly 2 door lexus.

I like the paintjob, and the lights.

The front looks terrible, imo.

It WILL look much better once they refine it abit before production.

Yeah, if not for the front it would look a lot better. But mostly because it looks like other good looking cars <cough> TT </cough>

As for the lights, they look to be continuing the trend of stupid companies painting their bulbs blue. Real Xenon HIDs are white. The blue you see on cars with real Xenon projectors is from the sharp cut-off (something Europeans started because of EU laws) that prevents the lights from blinding other people on the road and lets them blast insane amounts of light in an even pattern below that cut-off. The light that illuminates the road is completely white (except when you first turn them on as they heat up) - but near or just above the cut-off it will appear various colors, with blue being the most prominent.

But a lot of car companies (Lincoln, Nissan, your friend with the Integra and "go faster" stickers) thought "Hey, blue headlights look cool" and started tinting their bulbs or lenses to mimic the look of the euros. Meanwhile the coloring actually blocks some light from hitting the road and causes fatigue among other drives.

I'd be surprised if what they actually sell has lights that look quite like that. If they do, and it's for the reasons stated above, that's completely lame.
