Same reason ppl wear over the top cloths and hair and so on.The only way for them to be "special" is to be a cartoon character.This car is a cartoon car for cartoon ppl.Don't get me wrong if the batman chin spoiler,rear spoiler and wheels were toned down a hundred times and the black was gone the car starts to look alot better to me.Who knows maybe they are bring back the HOTWHEELS cartoon and they are auditioning for it.:dontknow:
