The new De Tomaso SLS will be presented in Geneva in a few days... :|

4x4, three engines: V6 - 300hp,V8 - 550hp, and a diesel V6 with 250hp.

Apparently they already have 1450 orders!

But this is not a sedan, is it? Or is it?

Looks like a BMW X6, which isn't a great place to start. :|
 
It's not bad looking, and a 550 HP V8 is respectable... except I can't tell if it's supposed to be a car or an SUV!
 
1. design a generic-looking sedan
2. bloat it halfway to being a SUV
3. name it "De Tomaso"
4. ???
5. Profit!
 
DeTomaso was purchased by ex-Fiat marketing executive and Lancia CEO Gian Mario Rossignolo

Marketing, and fiat, not a good combo and he seems to have forgotten any lancia heritage as well, im betting he was responsible for those shitty lancia sedans too

yet another affront and name cash grab
 
The new trick in the auto industry: buy an old brand with a bit of heritage.... build a an ugly pointless pile of crap... paint it with all the brand halo you can lay your hands on..

This is NOT the return of the De Tomaso!! This is plain generic crap

Looks like a Chinese Volvo knock-off. Or Fiat Linea rebuilt to look like one. Awful and pitiable.

So a :bmwpoo: X6 raped a Mitsubishi Lancer and the Lancer eschewed the termination option?

not some pos SUV
 
I was hoping for a long time to see De Tomaso back. When I saw this couple days ago, it made me so angry. Please make cars like Pantera or Mangusta, not a diesel powered SUV.
