Looks like an import. Lets hope it has some beefy values to it besides the motor.

It looks different, maybe they are playing with the next body style overseas.

Belive it or not, that is just an Aussie Family Sedan with a body kit, V8, big brakes/wheels and sports suspension.

As for the grunt of the engine, they haven't released any specific information but I'll let you know.

And Tina, I'll be sure to get some photos of the real thing.

It almost looks like an Acura RSX, with a little bit of a Rally touch in the body. I like it, but I thknk whatever is under the hood will affect my decision too.

I think it looks like a Focus and a Mustang meshed together.
