    Well hell yeah that's better! Smoke, strobes, upbeat-tempo stock music clips...I'm all in!

    During the American reveal, I basically watched Gas Monkey reruns until the actual reveal which I switched over to Big Brother.

    SO much better. You can actually see the car clearly thanks to lighting and the view of the car not being limited to just the driver door. I hope they got to see the interior as well and that there were more descriptive details.

    Okay, now that was much better than the US reveal. I actually like the looks a bit more now that I saw it from every angle.

    I thought the US reveal was not good. Lots of talking, one view of the car and then push the car aside for Duran Duran. Umm, the car was what people were there for, not to hear someone talk, or to hear a band. Just show us the *&^! car! Also, I was afraid for a second that the Miata wasn't going to stop and go off the end of the stage into the crowd. That was crazy.

    Hey the US one wasn't that bad... almost as good.... kinda sorta...

    Okay not!

    They should have just simulcast from Japan with a second English speaking narrator.
    The European one was better than the US one but it paled to the Japanese one.
    You may know me as RAB or BCT or Rick depends on where you look.

    atank, I told you that was for your eyes only! You swore to me you wouldn't post to the internet.

    I feel so violated . . .
