    Here we should place cites about Spyker, seen in other forums. For example:

    "Are those side intakes on the blue Spyker there to catch rabbits?"

    "No, I believe to suck in women's skirts "

    "I've done the Ferrari / Lambo thing and something has been niggling away at me for a while, a feeling that all the obsession with speed and lap times is somehow irrelevant to using your car on the road.

    I've thought about more GT stuff like F612 or Aston, even Bentley, but they just don't excite me for some reason. I've even thought about ditching the whole fast car thing and going for luxury, Flying Spur or Range Rover even, but I just know I'd be bored within days.

    Now in a strange moment of clarity I think I really like Spykers!"

        "I love Spyker's. A very good friend of mine had one at his disposal for a while and was kind enough to take me out in it. Not the quickest of machines (but you already know that) but, as previously mentioned - the sense of occasion with these things is unbelievable ! The noise is fantastic and there is not one component on the car that i could find that hadn't had hours and hours and hours of attention to detail spent on it. Whether one thinks they are a good looking car or not boils down to the saying : Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think they're great and almost boarding on a work of art."

            "I have to say, the back window arrangement there does look rather like a dogs breakfast, Jesus, I hope thats somewhat better resolved now?"

              "All I can say is that as a Woman (grown one at that!) I ADORE the Spyker and in particular the Spyder. Have to have it with full Sports mode and it is just orgasmic when you hear the noise. Can't beat it and I love the car. Seen one regularly and they are just the top of the league when it comes to noise and far beats a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Would buy one any day! "

              and a female voice (same source as all the above)

                Looking at the above, you either love the Spyker or you hate the Spyker.
                Which i think is good because it does not come across as 'so and so'.

                Nice to read.

                    comment on Spyker moving production to the UK

                    "Suppliers, skilled workforce and history all reside here so how come bloody Qatar and Shanghai et al all get a bloody Grand Prix and we don't...... But anyway Spyker is a welcome addition to these shores and they are bloody good looking cars which might drive better now....."

                        ... about an Aileron:

                        "i like the diamond quilted interior and the aluminum brushed dash… but they needed to put some CONTRAST into that interior. it’s just too mcuch. kind of like someone dropped a can of orange paint inside there."

                        "Damn, you guys actually DID post this thing?! You serious?! This car makes my eyes hurt."

                        "This car is like a bad acid trip meets Dutch engineering – and I mean that in the worse possible way. I’m thinking the interior was designed by an HIN best of show winner…"

                        "this thing is so cool, much better then the original C8. If only they had used black leather instead of bright orange.. I’m glad they got rid of the ridiculous steeringwheel. It’s a sportscar, not a big cruiseship… O and it’s Dutch, so I have to like it to be fair"

                        "How can people hate this car so much? This car is the epitome of automotive lunacy, executed in a way only feasible in a country where marijuana is legalized.
                        I mean, look at that interior: You think anyone could think of a combination of quilted orange leather and brushed aluminum sober? And check out that gearshift – it’s connected to a pipe running through the interior and could damn well be the driveshaft, I would not put it past those freaky-deaky Dutch.
                        And then there’s the steering wheel – I miss the old four-post one that made you feel like you were the captain of the Titanic before you knew about the iceberg, because it symbolizes the lunacy of the entire car so well, like the car’s so high it thinks it’s a boat.
                        So yes, I like this car – I like this car a lot, and if you like the kind of automotive lunacy that brought about LeMons, the BABE rally and the Gumball 3000, you should like this car too."

                        "I’m gonna be pretty blunt and honest here. I hope nobody takes offense to my comments.
                        But damn, I think this car is pretty effin ugly. They shoulda called it FAILeron. I spent a week staring at a Spyker C8 (older one) and I didn’t like that one either. We were doing the Bull Run NYC-LA cross country race a few years back, and there was a Spyker C8 there, being driven by Carl Lewis (the Olympic runner). I just don’t like the body lines of it. It looks more like a budget kit car than a high dollar exotic.
                        If Ferraris and Astons are sculpted pieces of fine art, then this Spyker looks to me like someone Photoshopped it together.
                        The interior looks to me like “Donk, Box, and Bubble Magazine” meets “Lowrider.” And to say that the exterior looks like a cross between Lotus and Aston Martin is going to make some Brits pretty bloody upset, I think.
                        But hell, I’m glad someone likes it."
