I don't want to look like I'm driving around in a cartoon either and Steven Wang' design is too over the top. However I think Xabier's design is way too vanilla. There are already too many miatas/boxters/s2000s around, if I wanted one I would buy it. Give me something low, fast and racy like a lotus 211 or NXXN's design over at Grassroots.

I think what mostly makes the 211 look racy is that is doesn't have anything above the beltline except a minimal windscreen. Take the Xabier design, chop off most of the windshield, lose the humps, add a big wing, and you've got a sort of FFR 211. So perhaps if something like the Xabier was chosen, there could be a 'track' body that was the same basic design, but less windshield, bare rollbars, optional wing? Not that you couldn't drive this 'track' version on the street (if your DMV allows), or the 'normal' version on the track.
