Looks nice to me, resembles the mclaren test car from last season.
My main reason for liking it is due to the fact I will now be able to see the difference between the Spyker and McLaren cars - last season they looked so alike!

I think it look great. I'd have no problem being seen in that. 
Everyone seem to put those vertical "rudders" on the side of the car, just ahead of the sidepod inlets. I guess they're supposed to direct air flow coming off of the front tire, or something. I think they look kinda wierd.

F1 really does now have its own Team Holland
everyone's making a big deal about newey's affect on RBR, but lets not forget Gascoyne, who had major impacts at Jordan, Renault and Toyota, pushing all teams up the grid

Never pushed 'em far enough up the grid to keep his job, though. I think he'll do ok now he's back at Jordan, sorry, Spyker.

i think though that the mentality ap spyker is there for them to be a team that can move up. Unlike midland, they are a sports car company. their life is racing and cars. and i think that really has a big affect on how well a team does, just the whole mindset and i think spyker has it

The Car looks OK to me. I quite like the spyker team cuz the Racing heritage is in their Blood unlike STR and Super Aguri. I would hope they'd beat STR inspite of both having Ferrari V8s. I think having Mike Gascoyne could make a difference,although if the STR is a clone of the RB3 it would seem unlikely though.

Looks like a hacked up job made by looking at all the top teams' cars and trying tocopy them all at once. Never been near a wind tunnel, Spyker are screwed if Aguri and RB run customer cars

but the hireing of Adrian instead of a driver that can bring money but may not be as good a driver shows this aswell i think

I like the livery, it looks a little like a Tiger with the orange and the black.
I agree with Cav in saying that you can see bits of aero copied from other teams all over it. It will be interesting to see if all the aero work in harmony, my guess is "no" not until the the end of the season anyway.
But good luck to Spyker at least they can hold their head up high and say that they designed and built their own chassis.

Tried it with a bit more black - from the "chevrons" back to the c#ckpit surround, and black sponsors and number down the nose.

Mike Gascoyne really has a love affair with B-spec cars have you noticed. The Spyker F8-VII B-spec he is hoping to race in Turkey.

Yeah, I do quite like that, nice colour-scheme, although maybe a little on the plain side.
And is it me or does the rear end (side-pods down) look incredibly boxy.
