OH MY GAWD THIS THING IS FRICKIN BAD ARSE I LOVE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH HACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looks like an affordable Maserati Gran Turismo the way the contours on the hood blend with the bulging front fenders and the front bumper. couple first impressions:

1. like most people here, i do like the mark i better but i think the mark ii is pure sex as well. preferred the headlights and tail lights on the mark i but i like this version, the taillights kind of remind me of the JZA80 supra. not as clean as the mark i but definitely more bad arse. changing the taillight color to red will go a long way toward making the rear end look cleaner. i miss the blacked out a pillars and the shorter and smaller side windows and rear quarter window, the greenhouse on this one looks bigger and rounder. but the fenders, hood, and duckbill on the trunk look damn sexy. i mean, look at the thing it really hasn't changed that much, they just added a whole lot of meanness.

2. everyone seems to be complaining that the front and rear bumpers on the mark ii are too ricey. well i still think this is previewing an optional factory installed body kit. i mean, look at the thing. carbon fiber splitter, side diffusers, rear wing, fully enclosed underbody panels, crazy looking LEDs. that's not gonna come standard on a fully stock $25k car. this is just a hunch but i'll bet the standard version is gonna come with a similar looking but heavily toned down front and rear bumper without all the carbon and LED lights. that right there would eliminate most of the complaints that i see here.

3. all the carbon body bits, premium wheels and bbk still make me think this is a G's version decked out with expensive optional parts. i'm still guessing they are all gonna be factory available options that when added all together will make the car a lot more than 25k. i mean c'mon, cross drilled slotted rotors, carbon fiber, 18 inch rims, on a 25k car? i don't think so. if i can get the car with steelies and standard front and rear bumper for less than 25k i'll be happy, but we'll have to wait for more info.

4. disappointed that this one doesn't appear to be a liftback either, but what can you do?
