The GT has a 'performance suspension' setup. Maybe it's me but all sporty cars seem much lower in their advertising images.

that's a huge jump for the I4 to the V6...you either have a wimpy car, or a BEAST.
i like the titanium pearl.

Yea I hate that, car rarly look as good in person as they do on tv. It'll be something to look out for.

what the msrp on that sucka?

42,995



nah I dunno

 

[digitalricepape]

damn i sure hope its not 42,995. its pretty damn beefy though although the styling might be a bit controversial

The GT with its V6 weighs 4,288 lbs. So it's just big, heavy, ugly and slow.

Edit: Turns out it's not really 4288 lbs, that was just a glitch in the matrix, no pun intended! (cabpatch)

 

[nate0123]

wowsers! 4288??

guess they took a page from the maxima theory

 

[Dr.Sound]

eww @ poundage

 

[Roywhitep5]

i like the look of the rear but the front end dosent seem to match at all. also in order to get rid of the wheel gap, the car would have to be lowered so much it'd be undrivable
