the 5exi looks fairly novel to me - but it really needs a rethink of the wheelarches. The 7s are old hat, as are Cobras - but why are they so popular? I thought kitcar enthusiasts were the sort who liked to be different, so why do are we dragging ourselves into the realms of uniformity? You can find several decent chasses out there, but bespoke bodywork is a little more daunting for both manufacturers and wouldbe-DIY designers. I imagine taking a mould off someone elses Cobra or suchlike bypasses an awful lot of the development and realisation costs and efforts. Tis why I like the Kamala, Ultima, Noble (if it were a kitcar). Now a McLaren F1 would be a different story. . .
