New grill, new lights and new bumper. The forward-stance from the grille is gone. Final design is better but a little bit less exciting. Size: 4945x1865x1480, wheelbase is 2800. Two engines are expected: a 1.5 turbo and a 2.0. The 2010 concept car had a 2.0 turbo, that engine might be added to the line-up later.
