front is good. rear sucks. the side profile makes the car look too heavy in the rear. the last gen looked much more sporty, what it should look like. ill pass. give me a bimmer over that any day.

still sexy as hell.... i'm not suprised by its styling. Still looks similar to the older one, just smoothed out. A lot of ppl are putting it down but wait till you see it rolling on the streets, everyone will be drooling.
