At this point I'm calling it an easy triple.

The reality is that once you're sitting in the driver's seat, you stop being as aware of all those exterior details that you can't see through the windshield or in the mirrors.

As to all those buttons on the steering wheel that you would see more often - I don't like that much clutter there either. But that may be for a (thankfully optional) technology package anyway.


I'm still trying to decide if that double ball joint front suspension needs to have compliance elsewhere that a single lower arm wouldn't in order to work.

My opinion - any mfr that insists on putting 19" or larger wheels on their cars needs to specify a brake size that doesn't look lost inside the wheels. Rear brakes included, which in this case might help alleviate some of the comparisons with cars from the other side of the Pacific.
