Saw this car for the first time last year and fell in love with it.
 
I'm sorry but I just don't see it. I understand how difficult it must be for a person or a small firm to cobble together a car that doesn't already exist, but that cobbling should be done in the bits that can't be seen immediately. I don't mean to pick apart someone's work but this just looks like a Gallardo with a new front end and the first clean windshield they found in a scrapyard.
But hey, it's not the Deronda G400.

I don't know... It looks kinda generic, I agree, but maybe you're being too hard on it. It has some original bits? Also... It's not the Deronda G400, which automatically makes it okay to me.
 
The front end appears to be somewhat original--or anyway not blatantly half-inched from another car--but it clearly picks and chooses features from other cars and combines them in a way that doesn't seem to have taken much hum-and-haw. I guess the same can be said about 90% of other cars on the road, but it shouldn't be the case with a car directed at its particular audience. And I don't mean to come off as hard on it, just appropriately critical.
