I read survey that Americans and Asians like cars that frown, look angry, or mean. Smiley cars don't sell. There is no 5mph bumper in front, so any carelessness will be costly. I still hope it comes here. … Oh. I forgot. I read survey that Americans and Asians like cars that frown, look angry, or mean. Smiley cars don't sell.

Then it would look like a goofy smile. :) While we're at it, I think they should change the position of the door handles. And make prettier trunk lid seam. Outside passenger mirror too small. On more serious note, the styling looks distinctive - not cookie-cutter. But they need something on the lid of the trunk to create laminar flow air-stream and better improve economy. If this cost $15,000USD of fewer, they will never make enough of them. Make mine white, please! The big, dark piece in the front should have teeth, and the grill red.
