They colored that pic of the 3 at the top red. It's normally titanium gray.... why do I notice stuff like this?

I don't know where he gets off saying the front looks like a civic though... I don't even notice any degree of resemblance.

8.9 seconds to 100km?

I suspect this reviewer did not run 0-60 time trials. There was a European (French?) review which quoted this 8.9 figure and I'm betting this reviewer lifted it.

The 8.9 is certainly a lot slower than the Car & Driver tests where they got 7.4 in the 0-60mph.
