Oh man...and it is THE perfect blue. A perfect medium blue, with metallic shine that brings out all the lines so perfectly.

The comments that customers would prefer a car that looked like a Camaro rather than have improved visibility scares the crap out of me. You know the main thing Lisa hates about the Gen 5 is visibility.

I'm really liking the car a lot. I just want it to be one she loves to drive too.

It all looks very promising and I can't wait to see one in person.
I can see your concern about not being broad enough, but what could they have done? To appeal to a broader base would have meant more compromises, and likely a larger size (trunk/rear seat) which is not what the majority wants. Even outside of this enthusiast forum I believe that to be true.

Visibility is still not perfect, but it is improved in the frontal area as you already know.

I don't think you'll have to worry about having a good selling V8 model but a bad selling, inferior V6 or T4 model. I mean..that is just not the case here. The V6 and T4 are still getting just about all the bells and whistles, and they will be fantastic driver's cars as well. I know you already know this, so I don't see why you are concerned the base car won't sell.
