I would need to see the actual car. As was already mentioned by another poster, there's no accounting for taste. I won't bore you with a list of cars that I've seen(and in some cases bought) that looked quite different when seen in person--some better, some worse. Not a good idea to be guided by a picture. I do agree that the increased hp (and displacement) is a plus but even there, the new numbers on paper may not produce the expected performance improvement--got to see it in person.

Look at that rear quarter panel and bumper-- they look like they were fabricated with a dull axe then shaped with a sledge hammer and a piece of 2x4. The lower lip on the front bumper looks like the lower lip on Bubba from Forest Gump-- and groove above it was shaped by hitting it with a 2 inch steel pipe. Finally, the tilted beltline looks like the designer was half snorked when he drew it.....and it cuts right through the fuel door. Sheez!!

As they say, there's "no accounting for taste." I like how it looks, and like it better than any of the '03's through '07's. This is why there are so many different brands and models.

But the sedan is butt-ugly-- looks like it was designed by some 20-something California surfer boy with body-piercings and flames painted on the side of his computer case....
