Looks as if they got their inspiration from playing with a child's pinwheel.

It does look like they tried to use a "one size fits all" spoiler straight out of a J C Whitney catalog.

It's probably a reflection, but yes - it does look as if it doesn't fit properly.

Is there a vent on the rear quarter panel above the door latch cutout? I tried to expand the picture on my iPad, there appears to be some sort of oval vent?

I thought so too, however it shows up in all the photos at various angles and in one photo looks like there is an oval shaped edge like a speaker shaped. When you blow up the pictures they distort. iPad users?

I'm not seeing anything that looks like a vent. As far as I can tell, it's the same CGM vert that has been making the rounds previously.

The Vert looks great, but not a fan of the wheels. I wonder if the Z51 Twin Spokes will be available on the Vert?

I am really looking forward to seeing the car in person. I suspect that some of the things said about the rear spoiler can be cleared up by looking at the car.
