"Which kit is that then?"

"Did you build it yourself?"

"Has that got a ford engine?" [yes] "Yeah, I thought it would - did you consider a Rover V8?"

"Pah, it's a poor-mans McLaren!" [actualy quite complementary, in some ways]

"50 how much!!! You're kidding, right?"

"Yeah, you can tell it's a kit - look at the interior - he's skimped it a bit."

It seems that very few people know what it is, but they don't associate it with an expensive brand (clearly) which they probably might with a Zonda. The styling (which I personally like) demonstrably brings "kit car" to the mind of your average Joe Soap - and that's not something I like.

Frankly, if I spend 50k+ on a car then I want people to think "gosh, he's spent 50k+ on that car". Sure, I want the exclusivity and there is a good argument about having your cake and eating it, but the balance doesn't seem to be there with Noble.
