It's getting a little crazy that a FWD coupe is now getting 260 hp and all. :eeks:
This car resembles a curvy Accord coupe w/ a little more power.

that looks quite a bit like the concept that was in Super Street a while back(at least teh rear does)...but I guess the scrapped the electric drive for the rear wheels?

eh... the concept looked nicer. this version is too bland and the front is just plain ugly. overall, it looks like the 2nd and 3rd gen mated...

btw, any interior and engine bay pics??

I think it's moving to the better direction design wise compared to the current gen which have those weird edgy lines on the side.

i think they should have 2.0t awd version with a detuned lancer evo motor (to 265hp). that would be HOT!!

it's alright...kinda reminds me of a Mercury Cougar. front end is ugly, but power-wise is impressive.

3.8L 260hp fwd?? by the looks of the profile of that car, there is no way the engine will be behind the front axle. that car will probably end up weighing 3200-3500lbs with a 60/40 f/r weight distribution, not to mention gobs of torque steer and understeer. if you ask me?? no thanks!!

From the side, the rear looks like they took it off an Audi TT.
