If you do like the coupe showcar , there is no reason for you not to like the production version .Wait until you see the actual car before you make up your mind .
Thanks for the update, I'm hoping that your information is based on some kind of insider information. I appreciate knowing that it will be shown at Pebble Beach, I'll definitely be looking for it.

I DO like the concept but have reservations based on the photos from the NAIAS and Chicago shows which make the rear end look chopped off and rather chunky. Also, the spy shots of the production car looks rather high off the wheels as opposed to the concept which is lowered over the wheels. Do you have any information on that?

In any event, you've provided me with some very useful information and I appreciate it. Thanks.
