I know what the design goals were/are. I'm talking only about appearance. Sticking an aggressive face on the car to make up for its shortcomings (though I don't think it has any worth mentioning) is stupid. I guess you are confirming that sticking plastic aggressiveness on the car is the right decision, though.

I'll be sure to only enjoy "agressive BS" driving from now on and ignore the other things it does very well, such as cruise down the coast quickly with minimal drama. The "girly" front with a Tapout decal would cover the agressive base.
