Only thing I like is the DSP feature on the radio

Looks OKAY from the side.. but the front and rear are hideous.

I hate the ones that are out now anyways; not much of an improvement in looks IMO. However, 260hp is not too bad

Power to weight ratio is what matters, if it weighs 3500+poounds then 260HP dont mean ----. Some one find out what it weights, I tried but I was too difficult to search the interweb.

id guess 32-3500 which as your saying, is gonna make it mediocre speed, shat handling, and shat gas mileage, not worth the effort or money

It says most power in it's class, and then it says it's part of the "Sporty Cars class"... haha.. anyway, 3.8 liters is alot of displacment for a "sporty" v6, and when you consider that the 350z puts out 380 hp with its v6, is rwd, and doesn't look like a turd, that pretty much says it all for me. I AM glad, however, that they didn't follow the concept with the side-opening hatch and hybrid awd... gas driven front, electric driven rear. Thats just ghey. :-X

this should be at the NAIAS this weekend. i will see if they have the weight listed. i say just put a turbo 4cyl in it so you save the weight of the huge v6.

i havent liked them sinced they forget where the roots came from. AWD and turbo is what made those cars good. the 95-99 style attractied chicks cuz of the syling. this one kinda looks like a stretched out Audi TT with the same rear. Im not impressed.
