The 'new' Mangusta was an incredibly brave concept and efffort at the time. But someone in the styling department let Mr. Qvale and 'would be' fans down.

I've often considered what, if anything, one could do to erase or modify this atrocity, but if you factor in what it'd cost to do so, you're in the price range of another, more appealing car.
