my first impressions when I seen those pictures of the engine bay were:

$$$ and $$$ and even more $$$ lol

The only part I'm not really liking:

If they made it like an S2000's gauge I'd have liked it better; changes color as the revs go up. But this is just a plain looking screen.

Would probably be alot cooler if it weren't shoehorned into a WAGON.

Very neat :P

That's amazing. Surprised that would even fit. I wonder how the handling is now. Must be very little grip in the rear now.

Why put it in the hatchback and not the coupe?
