one thing tho.. they do have a V4 version. the V6 is what they recommend.. but a Rockford Fos. 650 watt sound system sounds good

Overall I like it... but they needed to clean it up so that those little black areas aren't needed in front of the front windows. The clear tail lamps are too ricey, too.

I like the rear quarter panels and overall profile, but the front is ugly.

I'm not sure if I like it. It looks nothing like the concept. It has a slight resemblence to the 2nd gen rear end, but the front looks like their Galant styling. I just sold my 03 GTS, had no complaints other than the 3inch wheel gap and accompanying suspension performance. Plus 210hp and 205lbs of torque was great. I'm sure 260hp will be even more fun in the 4th gen. I guess a test drive and seeing in person is the only way to know.

HOLY! I didn't see the specs the first time. 260 hp and 650 watts! What's the price gonna be?

It's getting a little crazy that a FWD coupe is now getting 260 hp and all. :eeks:

What's the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?

260hpr...... is this a potential threat?
