Seems a bit "porky". Why so heavy?

People keep repeating that number without paying attention to who estimated it.

I do like the silver car over the red one used in the reveal. The red with all the black on the wheels, vents and rear just didn't look right.

I'd take one in a heartbeat. Just bought a '13 GS in September, but I'm already plotting my next move. The car is gorgeous!

a lot of guys worked hard on this new car, and it looks fantastic in every way. When its on the street, people will love it. It looks new, fresh, and absolutely modern. There is no LOL in this new car. Your car will look dated beside it.
