    I am thinking groceries are NOT their concern with this particular model... :cornut:

    I gotta see it, sit in it, touch it, walk around it, and drive it, before I decide....:D

    I really can not get past that roof line and in this one it reminds me of the Targa, where the center sections lifted off. Maybe a semi-convertible would be a good idea.

    Is a sequential shifter an option on JCWs? I want one if that's the case... :arf::biggrin5:

    I see the IC through the lower grill is much larger than stock.

    I do believe that is a very nice coupe.:biggrin5:

    I can hear this banging up the gears with that big azz sequential box. :eek6:

    That is a big shift stick, I wonder why they did not use a paddle system?

    Nice, I wonder what it weighs....

    That rear spoiler is too big. Its disproportional to the rest of the car, IMHO.

    I like... agree that the rear spoiler looks a bit BIG, but sure some engineer/wind tunnel guru said it has to be like that!!!
