Initial impressions:
- Gotta buy it in black to hide/blend that fish-face (iA inspired?) front styling.
- Overall nice styling & body proportions - minus the fish-face & cheesy fake exhaust vents.
- Thank goodness the big, goofy rally type spoiler is NOT standard on the XSE, but instead a OEM dealership option accessory.
- Wish they would have stuck with 17" wheels & a more practical tires for the real world on XSE. 18" is a bit cartoony big, and 16" (SE) is a bit too small.
- CVT w/launch gear has been getting good buzz. It is said to be quick off the line & feels like a regular automatic to drive.
- Nice balance between horsepower & likely fuel-economy (& it is rated better than the iM for MPG).
- Will probably feel a bit low to the ground for my tastes now.
- Not really a fan of the two-tone seats (XSE?), but I hear they are awesomely comfortable & adjustable.
- I would never use most of the 'tech features' that are in this car, so they are just dead weight & added expense for nothing (for me).
