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.

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.
