      Other than the rims I love it. One of my favorite body shapes of all time.

      I like it other than the wheels.. I suppose if I won one in the lotto I would drive it

      Gorgeous then, gorgeous now. When I was younger I got to sit in one at a car show and it made a lasting impression. I love Italian cars and was raised on Fiats, Lancias, and Alfas ('cause dad couldn't afford more), but I do have to say that I'm slightly disappointed to see 'em going retro. I've always looked to the Italians for forward looking and always gorgeous designs. Have they finally lost it???

      Well said, the Miura has always been my favorite design of all time, second fave is the Ford GT (not Mustang, LOL).

      Hate it. The original is far too pretty to mess with.

      That's a nice looking car. The new one looks like a Lotus Europa.

      Other then the color and wheels, it's not a bad looking car. I think I like the original better, though.

      If I got the new one, the first thing I think I'd do is take off the "ground effects" - they look like they're just tacked on anyway.

      If they'd get rid of them and go back to the original style Miura (my second favorite car), well.. I still wouldn't be able to afford one, but I'd still dream.

      I guess now that they've shown the new Miura, the prices for the originals will soar even further out of the realm of "cars I would ever be able to afford". Darnit.

      I think it looks pretty good. Also not big on the wheels or color though.

      I agree with others...the car itself is pretty sweet, but that yellow color has to go and I'd definitely get rid of those wheels. It needs something less flashy than chrome 20's.
