I remain unimpressed, they'll probably ask $60,000 for it.

Default They keep making cars faster. Anybody see that ad for the Accord
240HP, it has a learning to speak German theme to it. One of these days the legislators/insurance lobby is going to regulate the HP at this rate.

Default They have the 6 speed for it currently, so who knows what they will decide?
Also heard they were supposed to come out with an AWD version, but who knows.

Its a 5-speed currently - sufficient but the competition has 6's - highly doubt the V8 will have one
