Unff...LED headlights.

HAWT.

Also - to those who are questioning the absence of side view mirrors - those are cameras on them and they relay information to the rear view mirror for a panoramic view of whats behind your car.

I think thats a *****in' idea; only problem is - what do you do if the camera is damaged or malfunctions?

You'd be turning your head almost to Exorcist levels to check what your side view gives you.

But I suppose it would be OK for just getting in to get fixed; though I can only imagine how much it would cost.

I think it sick. The rear seats are dope. Love the gauges. Like the BMWish rear end and the caddy/acuraish front end. Looks wise I like the current model better. Way better. but hey.

Look sick in black as a WAGON. with GT by the name in a 6 speed.

Lots of that won't hit the floor. Like the shifter. The cameras. Etc. Good ideas but people want mirrors. If you put small mirrors and had cameras mounted in them and had a regular rear view with the camera views in the dash I think people would accept it more. I know I'd like the option of having mirrors.

I wonder what they're gonna do with the pricepoint. With those options it looks like they want to step up to the big boys.

I really want a legacy GT wagon with a manual transmission.
