Very ugly. Looks like a squished crossover vehicle.

Since it is a brand new vehicle versus an old Impala, I would assume it would be better, otherwise Ford should just give up.

This isn't a turbo motor from 10 years ago. It is a modern direct injected twin turbo 3.5L V6. I'll bet that it has a wide TQ curve and puts up better times than the "spec sheet" in car rags says.

The few DI/Turbo cars I have driven felt faster than they should. The BMW 335i sedan is a screamer with only 300/300 HP/TQ. Some mags have them as fast as sub 5 sec. 0-60 and the 1/4 in 13.5 or better. The Solstice GXP feels strong as well as the DI/turbo Mini Cooper S.
