I'm another who wouldn't like to see this hideous monstrosity immortalized in the game. It is blatantly an attempt to create a modern day retro version of the original CV8, which is the car that should be put in the game. The CV8 was the curvaceous, fibreglass bodied and now highly desirable car which preceded the famous Vignale styled Interceptor. Where the CV8 scored was in performance - being so much lighter than the Interceptor, but with the same engine it was nearly two seconds faster in the nought to sixty dash. It was forgotten for a few decades while all the attention went to its smarter suited sibling the, Interceptor, but now prices of CV8's are climbing.

I've added the link to the real CV8 at the bottom of this post, in the meantime enjoy this brief 50th birthday tribute produced in 2012.

I kind of understand the dislike for the looks of the SV8, but at the same time it would make an excellent rival for the Shelby Series 1 and TVR's of GranTurismo...

It would also make a perfect rival for the equally divisively-styled Panoz Esperante (which is one of my favourite sports cars), if that were to be added to the game...
 
I have seen worse looking cars been liked here, but yeah I can understand the dislike too, like I said above I don't like the front at all... but rear, profile and interior looks really cool :p But it's also like Corrupteddisc said it's an excellent rival for some cars in GranTurismo, the cars has potential in performance :)
