That's what I'm saying. All these "design elements" are perhaps "new traditions" for Dodge, but they are really ugly and really cheap-looking. The Dodge Magnum didn't sell well for a reason: it was ugly as sin and looked like a hearse. It bore the same front fascia as all the other Dodges, and pretty much the same interior too. That should have been a clue!!

For the record, I HATED the new Charger's look, and I still hate it, and I imagine that after the wraps come off this one, I will continue to still hate it. Get it off our roads!

You know, if Chrysler wants to save money, and they do, they could save a ton of money by just not bothering with this car, or making it go away, until it can be reborn in a truly modern, new mold.

The 70's came and went. Not everything needs to be redux'd, and certainly not everything SHOULD be!

You can recapitulate the look only, or you can do an "inspired by" retro- look with a thoroughly modern, attractive new model (e.g. MINI or Fiat 500, or Ford Mustang -- better than the originals in nearly every way). Just having a "look" without the goods is just pathetic, really.

Forget this. I need speakers on my stand-alone touch-screen WiFi Radio!

Therefore, where and when can I expect to see the Pure Sensia or Revo Ikon for sale to the U.S.?

If Renault is only going to sell it's peripheral models here, then they might as well not bother. Why can't they sell their mainstream models (e.g. Mégane, Clio, Kangoo, etc...) here? Those are the only ones I'd look twice at. Why the half-assed attempt at a comeback?

They used to sell Dacias in Canada, along with Ladas. Ughhhhh!!!

@Federaly If they radically changed the OS, then it wouldn't be an iPhone. It's why the iPhone is such a great product. Perhaps it's time for you to experience why for yourself. Android is NO iPhone OS! It has much of the functionality, but the smooth, slick, cohesive, user-friendly experience is simply not there! iTunes is very much a part of that experience and the comprehensive, seamless backing-up and integration with contacts, apps, etc... is also a large part of it. Android also lacks this. Think Mac. They never radically change that OS, and why would they? It's why so many people love using them. It's why Win 7 has been designed to work so much like it. It works and it's slick. They certainly will be retaining it for future iPhone releases, and I'm glad of it.

So much bitterness and ill-will towards Hyundai/Kia. Tsk, tsk, tsk. No matter. They're poised to clean up in a huge way, and I'm loving it! Good for them!

Maybe GM will learn a few lessons (well, learn something) if they come down enough pegs to actually look around and pay attention to others. Not sure they are capable of it though.

If she's building cars now, then who's making the Honey Bunches of O's?

Love MINI. Have a MINI Cooper. Will probably get another MINI when the time comes, but I would NOT touch these ugly POS's with a 10-foot pole.

There's no point to these, except to take the current MINI and ruin the advantages it has in terms of practicality via the hatch and back seat. Furthermore, the roof is extremely ugly!

Yuck!! I really don't understand why they're doing this.

Is this a rebadged Pure Sensia??
