Is it that its a 4 door car 4x4 with turbo which goes like stink?


I don't like the car, period - at least not enough to drop $30K on. If it were priced like a Neon SRT, I might change my tune.

As is it looks kit-car like; sloppy and w/o good lines. It's heavy, too, has a lot of barely-useful go-fast crap on it that would probably break below 50,000 miles, has boy-racer attitude that's great if you want to impress someone's little sister, and to boot, is probably very easy to drive far too fast. Hence, another example of too much power for an average driving public, which is wrapped in a body typical of bad copycat Japanese styling.

In many ways, it reminds me of a Cadillac Cimmaron with flares. And speaking of Cadillacs (and four doors), the Catera with the Vette engine and Tremec 6-speed transmission is very nice. Plus it has American luxury no other car, Europeans included, can touch. Wait two years, and they'll be cheaper than EVOS, EROS or whatever they're called.
