Not sure why you'd say 'generic' since it looks like a Noble right off the bat. That interior though looks like something out of a Ford hot hatch.

^ That's what I think when I think Noble. The M600 is pretty generic looking to me. Kind of like a Farbio, or any other upstart supercar maker.

It looks like an Ascari and a TT had an illegitimate love child.

The first pic makes it look like someone took a Moble M14 and stuck a Porsche gayman rear end on it.

Haha yeah that is several kinds of awesome. The styling's growing on me a bit...the profile in particular. I actually want to see how it compares to the Murci/Zonda/CCX crowd.

The taillights look like the inner tail light on the cobalt or lotus elise/exige. The front quarter angles look pretty good but the fastback's elongation takes some getting used to. I dig the switches, sort of an old sci-fi spacey sort of style.

So I have question...did Noble actually build any M15s, or was it just the prototype that led up to the M600?

wouldn't suprise me if the M15 was built to order.

Well according to the article people that put a deposit down for the M15 are being refunded if they don't want the M600. So I'm thinking this is what happened instead of the M15.
EDIT: I think
this sums up pretty well how I feel about the M600.

It's nice, and Noble makes great performance cars, but the M12 will always be more my style...more attainable, smaller, simpler. I love the M12.

nowhere near worth that amount. nothing that's British should ever cost that much.

Autocar's first drive video is
here. I have to say, it sounds really impressive. I also like the "old-schoolness" about it; the fact that it has a proper manual, no ABS, etc. I'm kind of expecting a new-F40 here.

Are you kidding me? I think this looks gorgeous. Much more so than the M15, which looked cool, but this is looks like it was designed with some passion, it's sexy.

When i read you were expecting a F40 i was like WTF, this guy's off his rocker. I watched the vid, besides it also being a TT V8, i can get what ur saying. And it's a zillion times better in black, and it's a super car that doesn't cost the usually .5-1 mill either. I like it a lot.
I like especially that it's 2756lbs or whatever - props to Noble for keeping it light in this era of power boats.

Yeah I was wrong, it grew one me really really quickly. That blue is killing it though...the black one in the vid is much nicer.

It's nice to see they finally decided to sell the M14 design and in fact I think this if better looking than it was.

Pound for pound, I’d say this is one of the most exciting cars I’ve driven in the past 10 years. You’d have to dial the clock right back to somewhere in the mid-1990s, to a piece of moorland road in Yorkshire on which a bright red Ferrari F40 was sitting, in order to recall the same kind of intense, slightly terrifying driving experience. The M600 is genuinely that kind of car.

Forget the M600’s eyebrow-raising price for one moment and consider what it does, and how it does it.
This car can live with a McLaren F1, not just from 0-60mph or even 0-100mph but all the way from 0-200mph. That makes it unique among the 600 or so cars we’ve road tested since the McLaren in 1994.
Yet despite its monumental performance, the M600 is also a car that rides as well as it handles, steers beautifully and could, at a pinch, be used every day of the year. That’s just as much of an achievement on Noble’s part as the raw performance itself.
So is it worth £200,000? In many ways the answer is a resounding yes, but in the end that’s up to the people who can afford this kind of amazing car. One thing’s for sure, though.
The M600 is mega. With a great big capital M.
