I guess that's great news for those who can afford and appreciate this vehicle. one less person to fight with for the limited edition quick sleeper wagon.

Nice wagon wish they would make the headlight housings black, would loook amazing, esp. on a black one.

when oh when will they ever offer a 6-spd? has a T56 swap been done in the aftermarket? i'd consider one if it actually came in manual (if i had the funds)

UNDISGUISED!
NO BRAS!
No TAPE!

See.........I TOLD you guys, that if we b**ched enough times to the manufacturers about that nonsensical and idiotic policy of trying to hide new designs from the cameras before the car shows, they would FINALLY start to listen.

All I can say is................it's about time. And I hope it keeps up.....it should have been done a long time ago. The people responsible for disguising those prototypes with all that tape and bras that should have had a nice combat boot jammed right up the rear of their pants.

OK, guys.....I know I'm venting a little, but seriously, I've never had anything but contempt for the policy of disguising new vehicles.

I really like it looks much better. I would get rid of the chrome pieces in the front and lose the hoodscoop.

I see it may be one of those hate it or love it things. It just looks like it belong on their small pick-up-truck.

I personally like the old front facia better, but in the segment there is no better car. Wagons rule.
