The car looks sleek! But it reminds me of a yellow version of Lightning McQueen.

the front of the car with the red badge makes me think its a saturn...LOL

[Skarbro]

I like it. The name fits it. It looks mean/intelligent like a raptor. Not like that crappy logo the Toronto Raptors sport.

[cwp_sedan]

I like it. Personally I think it looks hot but in white or black please. :chuckle

[Wild Weasel]

Very much reminds me of a Gallardo.

Respect to Saleen for this car. Another cheap supercar comes to the market. I like, but I'd rather have the Ascari.

[mogul_pro]

WHY make a car that runs on ethanol... lol.. rediculous....

[-RJ3-]

Why call it a raptor? It should be named aggressive. (you think of raptor, you think of barney)

I love the look...
(Strangely enough I had a dream owning this... And I never even saw it until now.)

Its a cross between a Gallardo as mentioned, and a NSX!!! I really like this car...

But Ethanol... Might as well get plutonium.... Flex capacitor? NAH!

[Aceius]

Looks like it's a response to Ferrari's Reventon which both have a resemblance to the F-22 RAPTOR.

[garboui]

i bet the e85 bit has something to do with emissions regs to get it to be available in more markets or something stupid like that since it really doesn't gain much but a shorter range running e85.
