I'd drive it. Wonder when the American companies will wise up and realize we'd rather enjoy a sported up people mover rather than a miniaturized SUV. They release them over there, now they should try it on their home turf.

^So true, I guess we have to leave our home nation to get the better of it's products....

What the heck is wrong with GM and FORD, MY LORD.......stop giving us watered down shhhhhhhhh (shut your mouth) and build us some cars we can love.

Geeeeezzzzzzzz, I'm so tired of this trash. We get crap compared to what everyone else gets. You know, even if someone claims we like yawning cars...at least make it optional or bring over a limited # so we can at least decide for ourselves.

looks like they have copied a lot of the Falcon lines, particularly the front. I would prefer the falcon xr6 turbo - in line 6 in this category.

Damn they got the RX 8 strakes!

GM hasn't figured out yet that they need to switch back to making cars instead of SUV's
