I'm sold. Thanks for the info.

This tranny has been my only real concern so far (but, hey, its still a long ways off yet) and now I'm hoping more than ever that the SMG makes it to production. Now if only we could see some uncovered engine pics (Mitsu, you teasing bastards)

Very cool looking, like an Acura TL and Mazda 3 had kids then put em on steroids. Doubt those lights, front and rear, will make it to production though as well as the interior which is ok, since the I think it looks weird

overall

I hate it, it looks like they are just trying to do what everyone else does already. I think that this will take the uniqueness out of the line.

I think it looks ok from an angle but head on or directly from the back its ugly. Interior wise I really don't like it. The shifter and parking break look terrible. Is that an automatic??

Sides look like an Acura. TSX and TL models to be exact. The front grill has a lot to be desired and uhmm...well....the wing is kinda like karma coming to bite our asses after all of our STi wing criticisms. >.< The back looks like an RX8 with a high wing btw. Conceptually a nice car. I hope production's sharper.

Interior wise......I hate it.. The seats look decent tho.

Can anyone photoshop these pics and try some different colors, black, graphite grey, electric blue? Possibly match the front bumper center piece to match the rest of the car also?
