The car looks so tall in this picture. Body roll central.




My BMW would never eat a curb like this without some front end damage. This car should be lower, they copped out on it's design to accommodate hick drivers that don't know where curbs are.





Something I don't like is how they have been showcasing this car for a while now. But it won't be released until 2010? Thats just like typical American marketing. Tease us with something that we will never be able to get. I'm getting a bit fed up with it. I want some damn delivery.

Being able to "eat a curb" is a plus? lol

Am I the only one that thinks it looks like a boat with 4 wheels?

I consider it a negative. Eating a curb = sloppy driving in my opinion.

I thought my comments made it clear I was unimpressed. However, let me re-iterate.

I am unimpressed.

Yeah...uh...it's a little too tall. Not to mention the camo renders all judgments useless in regards to the camo.

Looks better than the stang from the rear though, but I honestly don't find that hard to do.

Remember we could be looking at the 6 cylinder version.....hence the 4x4 appearance.

Look at just about every American car with the exception of the Corvette and Viper. They could all use a drop. I think it'll look damn good with a little aftermarket love.

I disagree. ALL cars could use a drop. Look at our very own 3er's. Too damn high. And the Vetter could use a drop as well.

Even more naked now. So far it looks like it might actually stick to the concept pretty closely.
