The numbers look good, but man it looks like a fast and the furious reject.

Wont come to the US market due to price considerations. Those in that market demographic would take the same money and buy a 370Z, Hyundai Gencoupe, WRX, or G37.

Not AWD, according to Top Gear. FWD only

my Ford Focus (ok Mazda) put down 307/378ftlbs at the wheel. It's FWD only. It's front wheel spin only I should say.

I wonder if their dyno is wheel, hub, or flywheel.
