so assuming its FWD it'll be the tuned down 4B11 without the AWD for their sport compact model? That's a pretty nice lil powerplant, like an old FWD DSM.
That motor's going to be the new B-series, it's going in everything, Ralliart, Evo, Genesis, Spectra. At least finding one for a swap in 5-7 years won't be difficult.
What I can see of it looks pretty good. If it's on par with the Si and GTi, then it should sell pretty well.
The C-pillar/rear-quarter-window does look a little Corradoish, but the extended butt takes that away, giving it it's own character. I think it'll shine with the tarps removed.

thumbs down (to wooden steering wheels) unless its a car that you drive while wearing a leather helmet + goggles while yelling "tally ho, chocks away!"

A restoration to me is some sort of exorcism/brainwash for a car. /rant.
Should be interesting... the Forte looks great... the only thing that would stop me from buying one would be the fact that the front end looks like a Civic ripoff.
I do really like what they've done with this coupe though... even if the front still looks like a Civic, they rest of it looks like nothing else.

"Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose." - Jimmy Carter, 1978
