Brakes now look pretty weak...
I hate to see the dynamics hurt by suck large wheels and although I am not a big proponent of BBKs for just the street, those rotors now look almost as bad as drums stuck under there!

Those brakes do look really weak. 
The rest of the car looks pretty damn sweet.

Great car tho. Great bang for the buck imo. I considered buying one, but now I'm leaning towards a Cayenne or an X5.
Why wouldn't it be?

I havent had the opportunity to drive one but from everything Ive read about it - it appears to kick ass. I think its a terrific car, its like a mini-911.
BUT.. I think these huge ass rims would hinder its performance.

With a few key options it was around $70K. There's a lot of cool options like leather, wood, or carbon fiber covered everything, carbon ceramic brakes (which is an $8K option by itself), etc. but damn it all adds quickly.
