Quoted from Aurich:Never heard of Clutch Cargo, had to google it. Speed Racer came out a decade before I was born, but I grew up on the reruns. It's not that it's not great, because it is, but go back and look at it, the animation quality itself is actually pretty ass. Lots of frames of everything totally still except an animated mouth, choppy animation, etc.

I never heard of Clutch Cargo until I saw Pulp Fiction. It's in the beginning of the scene where Christopher Walken's character visits the young Butch to give him the gold watch. 
As for my opinion on AS, I think it looks phenomenal. Dirty Donnie is a genius. I've always loved Aerosmith, but was never keen on it as a pinball theme. Looks like I may be wrong. The LCD is a fantastic upgrade, but I agree that some (not all) of the animations need work. I feel that over time, the animators will warm up to the LCD and incorporate better graphics and animations that really stand out. I love how the elevator arrow moved positions, as well as the song select screen and bonus graphics.
As for the layout, it's mainly KISS, but rearranged. Not thrilled about that, but no major biggie. The LE/Premium upper flipper should be shorter, just my opinion. I LOVE the airborne toy chest lock, ala NBA. Very clever use by Borg. The announcer is HORRIBLE. Please get Steven Tyler to do some call outs! In all, I think it looks like it will be fun as hell to play.
