July's issue has a section devoted to modern and upcoming classics. There's a couple of pages discussing the coupe with Chris Bangle.

Just read the article. Some interesting insights from Bangle, for example how he really wanted the rear of the car to be more rounded and to have a pop-up spoiler. He also talks about how he wanted the front clamshell bonnet to be forward flipping, and that he felt the wheels were too small.

Is there a reason the wheels stayed at 16" on the 20vt production cars?

But no bloody mention of the owner's club. And never an acknowledgement from the editor whenever I write to them. Annoys me it does...

Agree with Bangle on the wheel size - made the car look a little 'top heavy' with the original 16" on. smile
