Just got a look at the new generation, crystal red w/ lt grey interior.

Looks better live than in photos, dash may be a bit busy to some, rear end is not as bad (IMHO) as the many seem to think.

Sounds awesome w/NPP. The car was being delivered, so I could not get as much info as I would have liked.

Batt. on cellphone was being recharged so no jpegs to add.
