If they've done all this and maintained all the current powertrain offerings and not impacted interior space they've done a hell of a job.
Wheel base was from observation, as was the fact that the camo'd car had 6" of fake in front of the real headlights. Short her than current car but I can't say for sure the front is 6" shorter than the current car.
