Sorry folks but front looks like a bigger version of the now retired ford contour/mercury mystique. Please will they add some real wood or no wood at all. 260 h.p. and front wheel drive, they must not have seen a Saab turbo or fwd caddy with northstat (axle hop).

 

I think we've had about enough of the comparisons, almost every car looks like another car in one way or the other (like the IS 300 looks like a Corolla). Just let it go, it is what it is.

As far as the fake wood, I would never want real wood in any car I plan on keeping. Real wood fades over the years due to sunlight, moisture, etc. Give me the fake wood any day, as long as it looks good...

Not sure what you're talking about regarding axle hop. Obviously you've never test driven a CL Type S which is bascially the same car with 2 doors. The Type-S beat a BMW 328Ci (with sport package), Mercedes-Benz CLK320, and the Volvo 70 HT in several tests (0-60, 1/4 mile, etc.) so obviously front wheel drive can beat some rear wheel cars.......
