I knew if I kept visiting, one of these days there would be a new site up, and today is the day....

Take a peek at the new Avanti website.

The new website opened last week. Let's hope they keep it more current and informative than they have been in the past.

Would have liked to see more pictures of the coupe.

Interesting how they state its got 18 inch wheels, but the 03/04 Cobra wheels

they are using are 17 inch. The company that I told them to get the knockoffs

from "AFS Wheels" makes the 18 inch version. The Ford factory ones were only

17 x 9, not 18 x 9. They where only made for 03/04. Sounds like even MORE

proof that they used the info from my email!! Also, the last Avanti Magazine

with the feature on the new Avanti clearly showed the rims the donor Mustang

comes with, and they are NOT the wheels shown below. I should contact AFS,

have a chat with Samantha & see if they are getting orders from Mexico?

Heres coupe shot Karl :

Oh yah ... and MY Avanti .....

The new website looks great, as do the cars.

The quality of writing (and proofreading) in the verbage throughout is significantly better than previous iterations of the site. Emphasis on the cars; their design and their build quality is a much better strategy IMHO than the the earlier site's walk through the history of the personalities that ran the company with varying degrees of success. Removal of the XUV from the site is a plus as well..it was not ready for production, the photos of it were poorly retouched, and it is too late for it to capture a slice of an already flooded and dwindling market.

I wish them all the best, and hope they have been, and can remain separate from the MEK fortunes and fray.

Not that its much surprise now, but made this point also in my Email to

Avanti Motors back in 2005. AvantiDan came on the site and made it

very clear that SUVs were selling like hotcakes, & they had a long list

of potential buyers for the "Studebaker" monstrosity. I told them they

would do MUCH better to use the rights that Avanti bought years ago,

and remake the Lark Wagonaire with sliding roof and Mustang chassis.

Sport Wagons have really caught on, and the Magnum sales are good.

Certainly makes sense to join a growing market and not a dying one.

Karl, just order a set of the 18 inch wheels from AFS and put them on

the Twin and you HAVE one. I wonder why they keep "hiding" the rear

of the coupe? I see they removed the side windows of the Mustang. I

think this was a BIG mistake. They could have reshaped them and did

a design similar to the original rear quarter window. Now they have

made a bigger blind spot. Ouch.

The "History" section of the new Avanti web site says Avantis were made in Canada! Does their web site writer suffer from the common misconception that Avantis were made in Canada after Studebaker shut down in South Bend, or do they know something we don't know?

Oh man thats ripe!! Losing faith really fast in the new Avanti company. They

"Lie" (give false info), "Cheat" (rip off investors), and "Steal" (take ownership

of others ideas). But I guess thats Par for the Course in todays Corporations!
